holysea,

I've been working with c++ sockets recently too (I posted my question just a few minutes ago), and the best information I've found is online tutorials. my general-purpose programming books dont cover sockets or network programming, but some more advanced books are sure to have it. I've found these tutorials online and they've been helping me a lot.

Hope this helps...
