I believe that winsock.h is deprecated to something like wsock32.h or something like that. Deprecated means it can be dropped from future releases with no notification. I expect you are trying to compile some old code, either look for a more modern source or post some code here (be sure to use "code" tags!) and we can help you.

It is not that old programmers are any smarter or code better, it is just that they have made the same stupid mistake so many times that it is second nature to fix it.
