Right - if you're only using an IP or DNS name you don't need to set WINS.

With two NICs there's a 50/50 chance you need to set laddr.  Recently
there was also a problem reported where if your local hostname is not
resolvable by DNS (see FAQ) the four parameter Socket constructor we're
using can choke with an exception but from what you've showed me I don't
think this applies to you.
