Not sure what problem are you talking about; the implementation of TCP
sockets on emacsclient was stalled for a while because of a
long-standing bug in the Windows port related to server sockets, which
was solved by Kim, not me:

2006-07-14  Kim F. Storm  <address@hidden>

        * w32.c (pfn_WSACreateEvent, pfn_WSACloseEvent): New func ptrs.
        (init_winsock): Load them.  Use ws2_32.dll.
        (sys_listen): Undo last change.  Just set FILE_LISTEN flag.
        (sys_accept): Undo last change.  Instead, set child status to
        STATUS_READ_ACKNOWLEDGED and reset char_avail event so next
        sys_select will wakeup the reader thread.
        (_sys_wait_accept): New function used by reader thread to wait for
        an incoming connection on a server socket.

        * w32.h (_sys_read_ahead, _sys_wait_accept): Add prototypes.

        * w32proc.c (reader_thread): Use _sys_wait_accept to wait on a
        server socket (FILE_LISTEN flag).

2006-07-14  Kim F. Storm  <address@hidden>

        * w32.c: Fix high cpu load for server sockets.
        (pfn_WSAEventSelect): New function ptr.
        (init_winsock): Load it.
        (sys_listen): Set FILE_LISTEN flag.  Set event mask for socket's
        char_avail event object to FD_ACCEPT.
        (sys_accept): Check FILE_LISTEN flag.  Set event mask on new
        socket's char_avail event object to FD_READ|FD_CLOSE.

        * w32.h (FILE_LISTEN): New filedesc flag value.
