newbie - TCP/IP

Hi Group, 
 I need help on using the XilNet libraray and Xilinx EMAC core.
( www.xilinx.com)
I am a newbie to TCP/IP stack , so I need some pointers on where to
get started.
I have seen Xilinx App notes , but the C files are too confusing for
me, and it has plethora of socket functions,.
Can anybody please point me how to get started and going.
I appreciate your help in advance
Thank you
Ram

The xilinx sockets are very similar to standard UNIX/Berkeley Sockets. 
These have been around a long time, and there are multiple great 
references, so if you Google "BSD Sockets" (for Berkeley Systems 
Distribution, IIRC), it should give you some good introductory material 
that will get you enough background to understand the Xilinx 
documentation (since it isn't _exactly_ the same thing).
