SUMMARY
The only supported interface for Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for
Workgroups version 3.11 is Windows Sockets version 1.1. Support for
previous versions of the Sockets specification is not provided. In
addition, there is no support provided for Raw Sockets (SOCK_RAW), DOS
Sockets, or vendor-specific socket implementations.
MORE INFORMATION
The Windows Sockets application programming interface (API) was developed
to provide a standard application interface to different vendors protocol
implementations. The official name for the dynamic-link library (DLL) used
for Windows Sockets 1.1 support is WINSOCK.DLL. Previous DLL versions that
were distributed with Microsoft LAN Manager (for example, WIN_SOCK.DLL and
WSOCKETS.DLL) are not supported by Microsoft TCP/IP-32. In order for a
Windows Sockets application to function with Microsoft TCP/IP-32, the
application must support Windows Sockets version 1.1 (WINSOCK.DLL).
