You want to read Beej's Guide to Network Programming
(http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/net/html/). It will tell you
how to do network programming.

C++ doesn't have any socket classes or anything like that (unless you're
using some 3rd party class library), so you'll have to use the C socket
library.
