Read any basic book on network programming using the socket
API. (Berkeley or Winsock, not that big difference for simple uses
like this. If you can find a book that describes both, be happy.) If
you strive for portability, avoid books targeted at Windows
programmers only.

Or search for tutorials on the net.

No. The GtkSocket widget has nothing to do with network
communication. The word "socket" refers here to something that you
insert a "plug" (GtkPlug) into.

No.
