Have you considered using winsock with LCC-WIN32 or MingW32?

Personally I use LCC-Win32 for NT projects, its small, fast, and clean.

I don't know how compatible Ming is with NT, I've tried it for a few small
projects and failed to get the results I wanted. Which may be entirely 
my problem, or it may be inherent to using gcc on NT, I just don't know
enough of the specifics to be sure.

Anyways, either of the two should allow easy access to tcp/ip without
the hassle and incompatibility issues which DJGPP would present on NT.
