You'll get more answers on this in the Networking/Device Communication forum (just so you know for any future posts). A moderator will most likely move this post in a little bit.

there's a list of tons of sites you can check out

well what I usually do is build a wraper class around the C sockets....

something like

Code:

---


 
 
                class tcp
                {
 
                private:
 
 
 
                        int sockfd;
                        struct sockaddr_in address;
                        char buffer[1000];
 
                public:
                        tcp(char *,int);
                        int send(char*,int)
                        int receive();
                        ~tcp();
 
 
                };
 
 
 
 
 
                tcp::tcp(char *ip,int port)
                {
 
                sockfd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
                if(sockfd==-1)
{
//some error handling
                return;
}
 
                address.sin_family=AF_INET;
                address.sin_port=htons(port);
                address.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr(ip);
                memset(&(address.sin_zero),'\0',8);
                if((connect(sockfd,(struct sockaddr *)&address,sizeof(struct sockaddr)))==-1)
{
//some error handling
                return;
}
 
                return;
                }
 
 
                tcp::~tcp()
                {
                close(sockfd);
                }
 
        int send(char *message,int length)
        {
 
return send(sockfd,message,length);
 
}                       
 
int receive()
{
return receive(sockfd,buffer,1000);
}

Actually you can build an abstract class which can be used by your other classes and make it more elegant with the functionality needed....
