Simple, blocking Windows sockets are fairly easy... Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/vcsample98/html/vcsmpwinsock.asp?frame=true for some helpfull samples on how to do it in C(++). The sample you'll find most helpful is the 'Simple: Sample TCP/UDP server'.
Once you get the hang of coding sockets the simple way, you can start looking at using 'select' and 'ioctl (WSAIoctl)' for the more advance accessing of blocking sockets. And you can look at asynchronous sockets, altho those can be tricky.
