HELP!! I am wondering what is the simplest way to open a socket and listen to a port with C++ for very simple data transmissions. I can do it easily in Java with the java.net.ServerSocket class. However, I've only found examples online that require numerous, random, .h includes of files I've never heard of. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need the following libraries:
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
and you use the following system calls:
socket() -> bind() -> listen() -> accept()
This is the order in which they will need to be used. I suggest that you look up the syntax for these calls, and let me know if you have any joy.
