Never checked this before, but according to:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/netmgmt
/ntlmapi_5pwz.asp
(from the latest platform SDK - I think)
and
http://support.microsoft.com/directory/article.asp?ID=KB;EN-US;Q149409
(which references NT 3.51, so it's pretty old, but *probably* still
valid..)

It clearly states:
"
The error text for these messages is found in the message table file
named Netmsg.dll, which is found in %systemroot%\system32. This file
contains error messages in the range NERR_BASE (2100) through
MAX_NERR(NERR_BASE+899). These error codes are defined in the SDK header
file lmerr.h.
"

This means errors for the Net*** functions, which is the LAN Manager
client and server. This is *NOT* Windows Sockets. (And Winsock errors
are at >10000, so clearly does not fall withing
NERR_BASE<=n<=NERR_BASE+899).


So if that documentation is correct, then the entire path should be a
waste of time. But perhaps the original author has some other reference
that says it actually works with Winsock?


> Is there some other DLL we could look in instead?
I can't find a reference to one anywhere - except it's included by
default in at least Win2k and later (with no extra loading of DLLs)
