There are two system calls that return this information on Windows,
and they treat the letter-case differently.  The second system call
needs the winsock layer to be initialized, and we don't want to do
that at startup because it causes various problems (sorry, I no longer
remember the details of that part).  So we only call the network-aware
system call after some network connection is available.
