This is probably something completely obvious that I have forgotten.

A friend is trying to open a server socket on a Win NT machine and gets
the error:

couldn't open socket: socket type not supported

I had him open a wish shell to type in

socket -server test 8888

and he gets the error, whereas I do not (I'm on w2k). I asked him if he
had adm privs on his machine, and he said he does.

To email me remove invalid and removethis from the From line.
