Link to Ws2_32.lib


Project->Properties (Alt+F7)
Select Linker from the left pane, then Input.
Paste Ws2_32.lib in Additional Dependencies, then try a build.

Thanks

If that is visual studio like it resembles, linking is as easy as ..
#pragma comment(lib,"ws2_32.lib")

I don't know if that will work on any other compiler/IDE's.
