  Not at all.  OS/2 Warp includes a replacement WinSock DLL that forwards
  all TCP/IP requests made by Windows applications to the OS/2 TCP/IP
  drivers.  So you can continue to use Windows TCP/IP applications under
  OS/2 (although using the native OS/2 tools is probably a good idea,
  especially since many of them are likely to be more efficient than their
  Windows counterparts -- not having to be restricted by funny memory
  management or crippled by cooperative multitasking design constraints).
