Microsoft TCP/IP-32 and Sockets Support (119466)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft TCP/IP-32 for Windows for Workgroups 3.11
  • Microsoft Windows for Workgroups 3.11
This article was previously published under Q119466

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).
