    Winsock for network programming?

    Would I have to learn the Winsock API to program software having to do with networks (IP, LAN, etc.)? Thanks...

    Run a search for sockets, winsock or WSA. There should be plenty of tutes mentioned.

    This is more a links to TCP resources than a tute.
