Re: [Mingw-users] gethostbyname doesn't work?

[Earnie B. <ear...@ya...>]

If you take a look at the header file winsock2.h you could figure out
that 10093 is WSANOTINITIALIZED.

The documentation says:

WSANOTINITIALIZED:	A successful WSAStartup must occur before
			using this (gethostbyname) function.
