I am trying to compile Socket6 module on windows. In 32 bit mode, it c
+learly passed while it failed in 64 bit mode giving linker error.
Socket6.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_inet_pto
+n
Socket6.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol inet_ntop
..\..\lib\auto\Socket6\Socket6.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved
+ externals

I see that the required ws2_32.lib is present:

    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\ws2_32.lib" 
    C:\VStudio10\VC\lib\oldnames.lib 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\kernel32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\user32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\gdi32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\winspool.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\comdlg32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\advapi32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\shell32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\ole32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\oleaut32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\netapi32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\uuid.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\ws2_32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\mpr.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\winmm.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\version.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\odbc32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\odbccp32.lib" 
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Lib\comctl32.lib" 

Still it is failing. Is it that there is some issue with the SDK versi
+on where ws2_32.lib is missing these two symbols? Please let me know 
+how to address this?
