been there, done that.  a repeat of SysVile (sic) R3:

    you could select on a socket or poll on a stream,
    but they would not interoperate

on NT you need to call WaitForMultipleObjects() iirc and
that doesn't work on WinShlock (sic) sockets etc, so you
have to use a threaded implementation.

for extra points, if the NT CreateSocket() call finds that you
are _not_ WinShlock (sic) the call fails and returns -6 iirc.
