Socket.hs problem under Windows 2000

Hi,
I'm trying to set up some socket connections with Haskell on a Windows 2000
platform, but I can't seem to get them working.
My program is rather simple:
--
import Socket
main = do { socket <- listenOn (PortNumber 1234)
; return ()
}
--
I know this shouldn't do anything at all, but instead it gives an error
message:
Fail: does not exist
Action: getProtocolByName
Reason: no such protocol entry
I get the same message for any socket operation I try to perform. Also a
basic call like getHostName from module BSD does not work. I've compiled
with ghc version 4.05 with option "-syslib misc"
Should I compile differently, is this a problem with CygWin, or am I
overlooking something?
TIA,
