If it is really an Ethernet network connection, you need to use the info in the link above. The Ethernet Network port belong to Windows and you have to use their drivers to communicate thru them. If it is really a 'serial port' on an 8 position RJ45 connector, then you got the info in your previous questions.
I don't think it can be easier. The socket programming model is event-driven, so it won't be as linear as serial port programming could be. btw, serial port programming can be event-driven as well.
