Can anyone direct me to soem good socket tutorials, hopefully explanation then example tutorials.

The canonical resource for sockets programming is Unix Network Programming by the late W Richard Stevens, his website remains at http://www.kohala.com/start/ and the samples are there and they''re still good. Note that BSD sockets is what win32 sockets are made of, too. The samples work on windowses with some changes. The books still rock.

For winsock, check out the SDK samples and MSDN. I also occasionally look things up in Network Programming for Windows, which also comes with some code.
