AI_PASSIVE:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/winsock/winsock/addrinfo_2.asp
Which lists the Flags for addrinfo, including 'AI_PASSIVE', which  I
found by typing AI_PASSIVE in the search box which is in the upper
left of every page........

But..... It looks like getaddrinfo is a new function, and you don't
really need it. It is used to get the values for this call...

But the old way works too, and is easier...
   ListenSocket = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP );

You should only need 
#include	<winsock2.h>
#include	<windows.h>

Also, I suggest you get send/receive working on a single CPU before
venturing into the realm of PC-to-PC.
