I know this is a comment but Boost ASIO library provides portable implementation of sockets. I've personally built boost for Windows which works for both Visual and gnu compilers. It also works on numerous other unix platforms. There is a decent description of how it works at http://boost.cowic.de/rc/pdf/asio_doc.pdf. The library itself also contains tutorials.

Edit: The license is also pretty good. My company is a stickler with third party software licenses (no GPL allowed) and they gave Boost a thumbs up which is pretty rare.

I'm using Enet. Works well for what I'm doing. It does reliable and unreliable UDP
