windowserror while creating a socket

How you cant think im new at netprogramming in java. Also I'm german so my english ist not very good.

And here's my problem:

Everytime I try to creak a socket there ist an Exception:

java.net.SocketException: Unrecognized Windows Sockets error 10106: Socket creation failed

My operating system is windows xp professional.

I already tried it with several codes from the web but theres always the same error. What could be the reason for this error? Do I have to put some settings in windows before i can use sockets?
