Hi, I'm using ActivePerl 5.8.4.810 with Windows 2000. It seems that no networking (not even ping) works. I am logged on as Administrator. Here's a couple of examples. 
>perl -e "use NET::Ping; $p = Net::Ping->new();"
Can't get tcp protocol by name at -e line 1

>perl -e "use NET::POP3; $pop = Net::POP3->new('192.67.198.62'); $pop-
+>login('me');"
Can't call method "login" on an undefined value at -e line 1.

>ping 192.67.198.62

Pinging 192.67.198.62 with 32 bytes of data:
