your tutorial is slightly outdated.

I would suggest for each function you are using go to msdn and check which header and lib it requires...

for example gethostbyname Function (Windows)

requires include file Winsock2.h
library (for linkage) Ws2_32.lib
and dll (for run) Ws2_32.dll

all this could be found in the requirements section of the page

if the above dosn't fix, it try including ws2tcpip.h
