The board runs Linux.
Try doing this on a laptop or desktop linux box first.
It really is difficult to know where exactly to point you.

Try reading a book on systems programming for Unix/Linux
There are standard functions for accessing the rs232 port, trawl thru' the
archives for loads of example code.
There are standard functions for tcp/ip networking programming (whether
you are doing it over wireless, or wired, or pigeon carrier it's much the
same :-). I fed

 unix tcp/ip socket programming
