WSAESOCKTNOSUPPORT - Error 10044

Question/Problem: Socket type not supported.

Answer/Solution: The support for the socket type has not been configured into the system or no implementation for it exists. The Winsock description for this error is "the specified socket type is not supported in this address family." So, for example, you can expect this error if a Winsock implementation doesn't support socket type SOCK_RAW within the Internet address family (AF_INET).
