I just have found that Boost.Asio returns wrapped WSAGetLastError code even 
on successfully executed ::connect (didn't check it for other functions). 
There is a problem with Norton Personal Firewall - looks like it performs 
some operation after successful connection and doesn't restore error 
variable in the DLL. As result on a second (and further) program's run 
WSAGetLastError returns code 2 (The system cannot find the file specified). 
After removing record of the program from "Norton Internet Security->Norton 
Internet Security->Personal Firewall->Program control" list, the program 
works once and then again returns error on further runs.
Actually it looks like as an Asio fault, because WSAGetLastError is not 
specified on successful function execution.
