Subject: socket problem on Windows?

Hello,

I'm new to Ruby.  I've written a very simple program.  It will not run on
Windows XP (at work), but it will run on Mac OS X (at home).  I've tried
1.6.8 and 1.8.0 preview 2 on Windows XP and 1.6.7 on Mac OS X.  Here's the
code:

require 'resolv'

class ResolverTest
    def run()
        dns = Resolv::DNS.new
        dns.getresources("www.apogent.com",
Resolv::DNS::Resource::IN::A).collect {|r| r.address}
        puts("#{r}\n")
    end
end

resolver = ResolverTest.new()
resolver.run()

Here's the error:

C:/devtools/ruby/1.6.8/lib/ruby/1.6/resolv.rb:559:in `connect': The
requested address is not valid in its context. - "connect(2)"
(Errno::E10049)

 from C:\projects\test\ruby\TestProject/ResolverTest.rb:6:in `run'

Please share any ideas that you may have regarding this problem.

Thanks,
