You create a socket but you don't call bind(), connect(), or listen() on
it so I don't know what you expect to happen.  AFAIK just creating a
socket and then trying to read from it is an undefined behavior, but I
could be wrong.  If you're trying to read raw packets off the interface
you're going to need to use libpcap.  Fortunately, there is a libpcap
library for Windows (called WinPcap), and there are cygwin bindings for
it so it can be used in the same way as with linux.  There are a handful
of examples that come with the library code, so you should probably
start there.
