The Mac is very BSD-like so any Berkeley sockets tutorial (such as Beej's tutorial) ought to work, as long as you use C-with-pointers. If there are Cocoa-specific extensions to sockets, I know of no tutorials for those (but I'm not a Mac programmer these days).

enum Bool { True, False, FileNotFound };

Yeah BSD Sockets is one option.
The Mac Developer Center is pretty good at covering this stuff. Kinda dry sometimes but the info is there:
Mac Dev Center: Porting to Mac OS X from Windows Win32 API ...
