Failed to initialize network problem

First time out of the vault
Hello, might just ask for help here:
My problem is that when I click the big multiplayer button in the menu of F:Tactics a dialog appears which tells me it failed to connect to the "network".
I'm running XP:Pro and I have tried to run it with the firewall disabled, so that's not the problem. Anyone else experienced this?
 
Solved it

Windows' got some ugly code...
I found out that it was due to a file called dpwsockx.dll that was missing (running dxdiag).
So what I did was i searched for it in the windows dir and found it lying in system32. After copying it to "System" dir of windows folder, the network is found by fallout tactics. Wonderful!
 
Now that is strange..... Maybe there is something wrong with the system path? Or just the search path for FO:T
