"The parameter is incorrect" is a Windows error message, not a 
Lua one (well, not directly at least). You're sure that you 
compiled the DLL correctly? I use a really nice free tool 
known as "Dependency Walker" (google it) to verify DLLs when 
I'm starting to have problems. Check that the exports are 
there and check that no errors are reported.

The problem is loading the DLL, not with your Lua code. 
Whether that makes it a LuaSocket issue or a build issue I 
can't answer for sure, but I can say I haven't had trouble 
with LuaSocket myself so it's likely a build issue.
