That's odd.  I don't have ws2_32.lib in my dmc\dm\lib folder at all.

So, your sc.ini isn't pointing at dm\lib.. why would copying files there  
make it work?

My sc.ini has:

[Environment]
LIB="%@P%\..\lib";\dm\lib
DFLAGS="-I%@P%\..\..\src\phobos" "-I%@P%\..\..\src\druntime\import"
LINKCMD=%@P%\link.exe

%@P% resolves to the \dmd2\windows\bin folder so my LIB statement points  
first at dmd2\windows\lib which is where ws2_32.lib is.

I wonder.. Is dm\bin in your path?  If so link.exe in your case is  
probably dm\bin\link.exe and the sc.ini there has:

LIB="%@P%\..\lib";"%@P%\..\mfc\lib";%LIB%

which points to dm\lib.

If I were you, and you're not using dmc directly, I would remove dm\bin  
 from the path and put dmd2\windows\bin there instead, then you should see  
the same behaviour as me.
