Hmm.  From a quick look at the source code, the error is being detected on a 
call to "getprotobyname".  This is usually an innocent routine.  Strangely, 
win32 is then reporting "no error".  

This URL explains the possible errors:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/
winsock/getprotobyname_2.asp

If other services are running, then TCP/IP is presumably correctly installed.  
So this looks like a problem with Windows that it's not even detecting 
correctly itself.  My advice would be to (a) reboot :-), (b) try on a 
different machine, and (c) consider upgrading Windows.
