socket connection always successful - c

Question

I'm beginner in winsock programming and i witnessed a peculiar behaviour of the connect function to establish a socket connection.The socket function succeeds even though there's no valid host in the network .For example there's no host with the ip 192.168.4.28 in our network but the connection to the call still succeeds and i tried giving ip address that's outside our network for example 1.1.1.1 and it still succeeded . Is there a reason or there's a bug in the api.i have used the code in the msdn site provided in this
