how tcp listen works

Hi,

  I am trying to create a connection between enc28j60 and labview via TCP protocol. the device enc28j60 is kept as a client. It has all the functions to work as a client(like sending arp request, checking if received arp reply is correct or not.. etc.,)

  To make those fumctions in a correce sequence, I need to know how TCP functions like TCP listen,TCP Read, TCP Write in LabVIEW works (the signals passed by them).

  thanks in advance
