TCP/IP and socket programming aren't quite the same thing -- I think people get fooled by TCP/IP, as it's not (in my experience) something you encounter except when debugging networks or writing low-level code. Some theory is useful, to understand what's going on, but you won't likely spend time dealing directly with TCP/IP. Sockets are a abstraction ontop of TCP/IP -- something on socket programming would probably be more useful to you.
