As I said it might be that you need at least 3.0.0. But you could try to
install the release candidate for that.
The code should be in lazarusdir/fpc/VER/packages/fcl-net/src (Note: path
might be not entirely correct as I don't have a Windows installation of
Lazarus in front of me right now).

No, that's a different unit/component/class...

I can't say anything about TSocketClient, but the TInetClient in the
ssockets unit I mentioned is a class that's rather directly on top of the
native socket API, so that should definitely be able to handle it.
