Does anybody know a good Winsock tutorial? I'm looking for something that tells you a lot about what is actually happening, and not just source code to type in.

Petzold's Windows book has a Winsock tutorial in it. Not sure how good it is though because I have not gotten there yet.
ooo Thanks!

I usually recommend this one first...

http://www.hal-pc.org/~johnnie2/winsock.html for a bare-bones approach and a little sample code.
This was recommended to me, and i wtill swear by its principles in all of my servers and clients.
Beej's Guide to Network Programming:

I really like the Beej's guide, I found it really good. Oh well.

IMO he really only skims it. I didn't find it very good for sockets. Not compared to online sources anyhow.
