AnzioWin is returning a winsock error code or 10022 when I try to run it. What does this refer to?

Winsock error code 10022, it is kind of a catch-all for unknown problems. If this is a new machine or you have recently installed or updated any internet security software, the problem is most likely related to the personal firewall they turn on. Windows Firewall is not usually the problem because by default it does not block outbound traffic, just inbound traffic, whereas others block both. While you may be able to "ping" the host, do normal web access and even use Windows "telnet", the security suite's firewall software may be preventing access for any other program. In order to test this, disable the firewall in these programs and restart your PC. If that works OK, then check to see that these software packages have your telnet or ssh port "unblocked", or add the appropriate Anzio program to their "exceptions" list ("anzio32r.exe" for Anzio Lite and "anzio32.exe" for AnzioWin, found in the default Anzio directory, usually C:\Program Files\Anzio15\). Note: It is often necessary to restart the PC after any firewall changes for those changes to take affect. Also, it may be necessary to start a new Anzio session in order for Anzio to now connect. Go under the Windows Start:Programs:Anzio folder and select "Anzio (new connection)" and establish a new network connection. Once connected, save these new default settings through the File menu over the top of the old. This error is most often seen with ZoneAlarm, Black ICE, Norton Internet Security or McAfee Internet Security Suite.
