The "P2P" in p2p.wrox.com stands for "Programmer to Programmer," not "Peer to Peer."

If you are asking the question, then solving the problem is probably beyond you. However I'd suggest reading:
TCP/IP Illustrated volume 2 - Richard W Stevens
Internetworking with TCP/IP Volume 1 - Douglas E Comer
The C programming language - Brian Kernighan and Denis Ritchie
The C++ programming language - Bjarne Stroustrup
and something good on programming graphical C and/or C++ on windows.

Once you have read the above books and understand them, then start reading up on the different protocols used for P2P networks. Have fun.
