So as far as I can understand , your goal is to understand how networks work. If that is correct, then instead of jumping straight to socket programming get a basic overview of networks through books by Andrew S Tenenbaum or by Jeff Doyle ( TCP/IP).

Buy, read, learn.Yes, I know the US publisher has messed with the pricing for current versions but you can find the previous ones used pretty cheap
