coff2omf over it ( Optlink, DM's linker, uses OMF format, MS uses coff ).  You
can probably find a working DM version at www.dprogramming.com.

Where did you find wininet.lib? If isn't in Digital Mars format, then 
you'll need either: (1) to create a new .lib, (2) to find a new .lib, or 
(3) to convert it into Digital Mars format.

Here's a thread related to the incompatibility of Digital Mars's .libs 
and mentions the process of creating your own:

Could that be related to std.socket?

Just a guess. Good luck.
