WS2_32.DLL
It comes with Win98 and Win ME but not Win95, but you can get a copy
here: http://www.drd.dyndns.org/index2.html or here:
http://www.softhq.com/support_u.shtml

It also comes with the Winsock2 update
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/default.asp

ws2_32.dll is the Winsock2 Update for Win95.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows95/downloads/contents/WUAdminTools/S_WUNetworkin
gTools/W95Sockets2/Default.asp
Read all the info on the web page, and all the links. Also linked on
that page is the Year 2000 Update for Winsock2 which must be installed
afterwards.
