Changing the address won't work... it almost sounds as if it's trying to
bind sockets for DDP, IPX or some other non-TCP/IP protocol...

Probable solution(s):  check to ensure that you are including the correct
headers and linking the correct libraries. next check to see if the socket
commands are getting valid data...
