This indeed solved the linking problem, later I found that I also have to
call "WSAstartup" before
a connection can be made. Unfortunately my code which was originally for
sparc used representation
clause to specify the layout of records to be sent over the socket. It took
a day to find the actual
translation from big endian to little endian so the rep clauses match. But I
got it working.

Unfortunately I started of with the socket programming before I read the
reply of Jerry van Dijk, so
I wrote my own socket server generic

Thanks for the prompt replies
