Thread: Setting up server socket?

I’m new to socket programming and I have a few questions about how to get started.
I’m thinking about creating a server socket I have 3 different computers on my home network will just writing a server socket that listens on one computer and writing a client socket on another and target the listing socket or is there anything specific I have to do to my computer with the server socket running? Should I enable telnet server or iis ?

One of my first steps that I took when I started learning about sockets is to read about the topic, familiarize yourself with the environment and then just take a dive and see what happens.
This reference (link) has a pretty good overview of sockets.

Which language are you planning on using? I assumed C/C++
