Where did you get a sys/socket.h file that includes windows.h or
winsock.h? DJGPP doesn't come with sys/socket.h, so you must have either:

a) Installed a socket library;
b) Copied some Windows headers.

I'm guessing you've installed an early version of libsocket (option a),
since that used to have windows.h and winsock.h in it, IIRC. My advice is
to remove these files and install a later version of libsocket or another
networking library such as Watt-32.

BTW netinet/in.h comes with DJGPP, but libsocket installs an updated
version. You might want to reinstall netinet/in.h for the version of DJGPP
you are using.

Hope this helps, bye,
