The Connected property is set to true as soon as the WinSock API connect()
function completes its work.

accept() provides a SOCKET handle to the server code to access the
connection.  The only explanation for what you see is that the connection
itself has been established when it is placed in the server socket's queue
that was created by listen().  The server socket knows the connection it
there, it just hasn't retreived it from the queue yet.  In the meantime,
listen() returned a response back to the client to let it know that the
connection was acknowledged.
