socket binding

Hi all,
A question about sockets.
It seems that my program can't correctly bind a socket.
The code is like following:
if ((fd = socket(AF_INET, udp?SOCK_DGRAM:SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0)
err("socket");
if (bind(fd, &sinme, sizeof(sinme)) < 0)
err("bind");
The socket() call is successful but the bind() fails, and the error
number it returned is 106, which, from "errno.h", is EAFNOSUPPORT.
and, TCP/IP stuff seems are working well (at least I can use Netscape and
ftp...) and the program actually works on Solaris. (The port number
assigned is 5001)
Can somebody tell me: what does the error mean? and what is the problem
behind it? (something wrong with my NT system?)
Thanks a lot.
Dong
