Socket Based Programs

Testing some software on Vista B2 that create sockets for network comm.
These worked fine on 5308, but are failing here when trying to create a
listening socket.

What might have changed to cause this?

Check your firewall, and group policy settings - these can both have
problems with sockets etc.

Firewall is off. Will check group policy. Same components worked for 5308
but fail for 5384.

The firewall stuff is turned off. I have found nothing in security or group
policy that seems likely to cause this. Basic connects to an active TCP/IP
port on another PC is where it is failing.

Further testing seems to show a DLL difference of some sort between the two
builds.
