FreeAddrInfo Error With ATL WebServices

I am having an error every time I attempt to launch an application created
with VS2005/VC++ that uses ATL web service calls. The error is "the procedure
entry point freeaddinfo could not be located in the dynamic lynk library
WS2_32.dll." The calls work fine under WinXP, but the app doesn't even launch
on Win2k.

This should be fixed in VS2005 according to this post from Gary Chang[MSFT]:

http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.vc.atl/browse_frm/thread/7db62860f0cb4ff9/311b98e68533e7a5?lnk=st&q=atl+web+service+client+windows+2000&rnum=1&hl=en#311b98e68533e7a5

But it is not fixed and the solution that was linked by one poster for
VS2003 doesn't seem to work for me with 2005 either.

What exactly do I need to do to fix this problem?

Update: I was able to get rid of this error message by setting WINVER, etc.
to 0x500, however all webservice calls fail under Windows 2000 with hresult =
0x80040154. The calls work fine under XP. What could be the cause of this? Am
I missing a DLL or some system file somewhere?

Any chance you can step through the call and see where it returns the failed
HRESULT?

0x80040154 == Class not registered, so there's definitely something missing
(or the code asks for something that shouldn't be there).

Well, I'll ask you the same question -- can you step through the code and
see where it fails? Then post back with details.
I don't have any experience with web services, so I probably can't help,
but you never know.

I don't know if this will apply to your specific case, but I ran across a
similar problem a few weeks back. Look up MSKB 822334 -- basically you add
a few lines to the top of <atlsocket.h>:

#if _WIN32_WINNT < 0x0502
#define ADDRINFOT addrinfo
#define GetAddrInfo getaddrinfo
#define FreeAddrInfo freeaddrinfo
#endif
