Client Server in C++

I want to write a client server aplication,but I wonder if you can help me figure out what its the best implementation(using inheritance). My code for the classes is like this,any sugestions would be apreciate:

Code:

namespace SocketSpace {
  class Error {
  public:
    Error(const std::string& msg = 0) throw();
    const char* what() throw();
    ~Error() throw();
  private:
    std::string message_m;
  };

  class TCPSocket {
  public:
    virtual void send(std::string buffer_m) throw(Error);
    virtual void recv(std::string buffer_m) throw(Error);
    void showUser() throw(Error);
    void showForeignUser() throw(Error);
    void create() throw(Error);
    void bind() throw(Error);
    void close() throw(Error);
  };

  class TCPClient: public TCPSocket {
  public:
    void connect() throw(Error);
  };

  class TCPServer: public TCPSocket {
    void accept() throw(Error);
    void listen() throw(Error);
  };
}

If you're going to use sockets then, personally, I'd recommend just using C sockets. Period.

If you insist on using C++ "classes", then I'd recommend using a class library that's already built for you.

Specifically, I'd recommend taking a look at Boost:
