as an alternative you could try out ecos; there are books available on it, and i believe it includes a sockets-compliant stack. --- Quote End ---
The book that I know about is more or less out of print (the copies I was able to obtain from
Amazon.com after a few months had some serious misprints), but the PDF of the book is available online (which I just went and printed out). Its TCP/IP stack is ported from FreeBSD and uses the BSD socket API. It took little work to port our Unix/Linux/MacOSX Socket C++ class to eCos.
The main thing to realize is that there's no "/etc/hosts" file in eCos; it uses DNS exclusively for name lookup. Also, it supports DHCP, BOOTP, and static IP out of the box.

ecos is (i believe) free; --- Quote End ---
It is LGPL free-as-in-speech, as well as being a free download from these forums.
