I think you're going to need to get Steven's Network Programming and 
have a good read.

Why, out of interest, do you want to do this in C?  If you're happy 
enough with threads etc
you might be better off with Poco and C++, or possibly ACE (which has 
some books etc,
but is a bit long in the tooth compared to Poco).  Or just give in, go 
over to the Dark Side,
and download Netty.
