But not as informative as we would like to see it.
For instance you omit the code itself and the short
description.

First I thouht "He forgets to make ErrorCode zero". But then I saw
it at the end. Making ErrorCode zero suppresses the windowalert.
But only if you do it right away:

	ErrorCode=0; ShowMessage(mjwinsockerr(ErrorCode));

or more readable:

	ErrorCode=0;
	ShowMessage(mjwinsockerr(ErrorCode));

10060 WSAETIMEDOUT

I'm missing 'timed out' in your description

	case 10060: return
		"10060 WSAETIMEDOUT The attempt to connect timed out.";
