    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....
