Are you using a bare bones VS2005 or have you also installed Windows
or Platform SDK ? And which version ?

If you setup a new project, which doesnt include curl.h and try to
compile a simple source file which has the following lines, what do
you get ?

/*---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--*/
#ifndef WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#endif
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
struct test1 {
  int a_i_1;
  socklen_t a_s_1;
};
/*---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--*/

And if instead of the above you have the following lines what do you get ?

/*---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--*/
#ifndef WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#endif
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#ifndef INET_ADDRSTRLEN
#define socklen_t int
#endif
struct test2 {
  int a_i_2;
  socklen_t a_s_2;
};
/*---8<-----8<-----8<-----8<-----8<--*/
