Hello,

i believe, this files is needed by tcp/ip - network. Did you install a network?

Neville,
I had the same problem on one of my PCs even though TCP/IP had been working fine. I had to do the following to get Apache working (Just got it working about 5 minutes ago):
*Copied the 2 missing files from another PC. (Even after doing this, Apache would start and quickly end with a "make_sock: failed..." message in the error.log) So I finally:
*Downloaded and installed the Winsock 2 update from the following site:

Good luck,
brian

Thanks Brian for the info ... I copied the 2 missing files to the system directory but I would still get the same file missing error and Apache would not start still ..anyways I will donwload Winsock2 and see if that helps

Thanks again,

Neville Lewis.
