Network on Win98: failed - socket - no error ??

I'm playing with the Network library (the recommended portable way?) and have a surprising problem with a simple client/server example. As the same program works fine on Solaris and Win2k, I suspect its a standard "feature" and someone here with more network programming experience might be able to enlighten me? - Server: listenOn port, then accept handle and enter loop, echoing from handle to stdout - Client: connectTo "localhost" port, then enter loop echoing from stdin to handle Both programs work on Solaris and Win2k, but fail on Win98, with: Fail: failed Action: socket Reason: No error which would be merely amusing, I guess, if I knew what it meant, and what to do about it?
