can't open a socket



xmaxima works with windows 98 SE but with windows 98 1st edition, an 
erro occured "can't open a socket". (this time without wxmaxima, I even 
formated, installed win 98, install only maxima 5.9.1). I found 
something on the web about that but didn't found a fix. Is there a way 
to fix it ?
Thanks
Eric
