Yep DirectPlay has been deprecated so WinSock is the way to go.

TheTroll suggested RakNet and I would agree with him. I used it several years ago with SDL and it was a breeze - it's only gotten better since then. Unless you want to deal with low-level networking like Winsock, which would be a learning experience in its own right I can tell you...
