Stevens's Unix Network Programming is the classic. Any edition will do -- quite frankly the first is clearest. He gets coverage-happy (STREAMS, seriously?) in the 2nd and the 3rd (completed by another author after Stevens's death) is just plain too big.

No, really. Whatever else you refer to, make sure you include Stevens' UNP. (edit: agree also, 1st edition is the best by far)
