Be aware, that is using BSD sockets, which are pretty low level. There are libraries out there that provide a nice interface around this. SFML has a pretty simple networking module you could look at, if you can. Not sure what the requirements of the project is.

Hi there,
Since you're talking about a chat application - which is usually implemented asynchronous - you may want to have a look at Boost::asio: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_54_0/doc/html/boost_asio.html
The examples even include an example chat server / client.
All the best,
