 WINTCPIP - Winsock
Winsock technology is being absorbed into Windows and into applications software so that end-users need not think about it very much.
Winsock compliant application like Eudora get's its networking capabilities by calling standard procedures from a Windows dynamic link library.
Thus, the developer of an application such as an FTP client has to understand the Winsock interface, but he does not have to know the details of each vendor's TCP/IP protocol stack in order to make his client application compatible with that stack.

 Winsock Programmer's FAQ: General Winsock Information   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
The Windows Sockets (abbreviated "Winsock" or "WinSock") specification defines a network programming interface for Microsoft Windows which is based on the "socket" paradigm popularized in BSD Unix.
Winsock 2 also allows for "Layered Service Providers." This enables many neat things, such as security plug-ins: drop in, say, an SSL service provider, and all of a sudden your data is automatically encrypted.
Winsock is in fact evolving slowly, and Microsoft is not documenting these changes with updates to the Winsock spec.

 Winsock Programmer's FAQ: Advanced Winsock Issues
SOCK_RAW in Winsock 1.1 is also problematic because the Winsock spec's writers did not try to rigorously define what we should expect from a SOCK_RAW implementation.
On older versions of Windows with Winsock 2, raw socket support is fairly sparse: Microsoft only supports raw IGMP and ICMP sockets on these platforms.
The Winsock stack in Windows 2000 and its successors can do this with raw sockets; the stack in older versions only allow you to set a few IP header fields with

WinSock XP Fix offers a last resort if your Internet connectivity has been corrupted due to invalid or removed registry entries.
It can often cure the problem of lost connections after the removal of Adware components or improper uninstall of firewall applications or other tools that modify the XP network and Winsock settings.
We actually tested it on a test machine that was having a Winsock problem due to some Adware removal, and after running the utility and rebooting, the connectivity was restored.

 WinSock - Glossary - CNET.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
WinSock is a piece of software that acts as the middleman between Windows applications (such as ftp, a Web browser, Telnet, and so forth) and the Internet protocol.
As the name implies, WinSock is used with Microsoft Windows, and most commonly with TCP/IP (though other protocols are also supported).
WinSock came about to make life easier for Windows programmers designing networking applications.

 Appendix C: WinSock Error Reference (continued)
WinSock only allows a single blocking operation to be outstanding per task (or thread), and if you make any other function call (whether or not it references that or any other socket) the function fails with the WSAEINPROGRESS error.
WinSock description: Similar to Berkeley and Microsoft C, the generic meaning is that an application passed invalid input parameter in a function call.
WinSock description: Same as Berkeley, except WinSock doesn't support the sendmsg() function, and some WinSock implementations are not so strict as to require an application with a datagram socket to "disconnect"--by calling connect() with a AF_INET NULL destination address: INADDR_ANY (0.0.0.0), and port 0--before redirecting datagrams with sendto() or connect().

The software caused a connection abort because there is no space on the socket's queue and the socket cannot receive further connections.
WinSock description: The error can occur when the local network system aborts a connection.
This would occur if WinSock aborts an established connection after data retransmission fails (receiver never acknowledges data sent on a datastream socket).

 Winsock Programmer's FAQ (updated 1999.06.27)
From: Warren Young Newsgroups: alt.winsock.programming, comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.tools.winsock Subject: Winsock Programmer's FAQ (updated 1999.06.27) Date: 19 Jul 1999 16:28:53 GMT Message-ID: <7mvjo5$ctu$1@macaw.cyberport.com> Summary: Announcement for the major Winsock programming newsgroups' FAQ.
It used to say that only buggy Winsock stacks and LSPs limited the number of sockets per select() to 64, but I've been reliably informed that at least one respected Winsock vendor's stack behaves this way, and they aren't willing to change it.
However, the FAQ is growing into a general Winsock programmer's resource for all levels of Winsock programmers, not just beginners.

Hence, all winsocks are one-bit devices on the end that does the down-loading from your modem.
The 16-bit winsock vs 32-bit winsock argument pertains to what kind of application programs you want attached to the other end of the winsock to use the data, not how fast you can get the data from the Internet.
The winsock will expect that, on exit, any winsock-using program will inform it that the program is finished with the socket (by invoking the winsock's WSACleanup routine), and winsock can de-allocate the system resources it obtained from Windows for that socket.
