What sort of things can I write to learn about sockets

[marienbad]

I have read a couple of sockets tutorials, and I sorta understand what they are doing, so now I need to write something(s) but I have no idea what. I only have a laptop and localhost, so it has to work on that. I thought about a chat program, and learning wx and threads at the same time, but I don't think (from what I can make out) that sockets would be useable for this.

I am beginner tending towards intermediate, looking for ideas of differing levels of difficulty. Anyone got any ideas?
