If you mean the protocol code in the kernel, I'd recommend first:

W. Richard Stevens, TCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1, The Protocols,
Addison-Wesley,

then:

Daniel P. Bovet & Marco Cesati, Understanding the Linux Kernel,
O'Reilly, ISBN 0-596-00213-0

and

Alessandro Rubini & Jonathan Corbet, Linux Device Drivers,
O'Reilly, ISBN 0-59600-008-1

For a little old step-by-step intro:

Stephen T. Satchell, H.B.J.Clifford, Heather Clifford,
Linux IP Stacks Commentary, Coriolis Books


I you mean application programming with TCP/IP networking:

W. Richard Stevens, UNIX Network Programming, Prentice-Hall

and

W. Richard Stevens, Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment,
Addison-Wesley
