10106 is WSAEPROVIDERFAILEDINIT which seems a fairly low-level problem (and I can't find much specific about it -- it appears that it could be any number of problems, though). I'm assuming it is a privilege thing (the CGI doesn't have privilege to use TCP/IP) so you could try changing security settings.
