Otherwise you run into SIGSEG in getservbyname. Currently the upgrade (W95ws2setup.exe) can be downloaded at http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/wuadmintools/s_wunetworkingtools/w95sockets2/default.asp? more information available at http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/q177/7/19.asp regards Teun Burgers -- Drs A.R.
