simple client

Hi i was wondering if someone could help me. Honestly i dont know where to start but i want to learn network programming in c++. I tried once before but could not figure out how to initialize winsock.dll etc...

Could somoene make a simple client that would have 3 textboxes. One is for IP to connect to, 2nd is PORT OF IP to open, 3rd is a text box which you type in a msg which will send the contexts ocf the text box in asci format... Can someone code this client and send it with a source code, so i can look over it and see what each line does.. I just need a little "push" in the right direction to starting tc/ip programming.. thanks :)
