TCP_Client_Example　assumes that a web server program is running on the server.

You use windows machine, so to install and run IIS, web server program provided by Microsoft, may be easiest way to run web server on your pc.

Modify TCP_Client_Example at following parts.

Line 20: modify "/media/uploads/donatien/hello.txt" to proper file path on your IIS.

Line 27: change "mbed.org" to machine name or IP address of your pc.

Now you can test TCP_Client_Example.

Socket (http://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Socket) explains details of port, connection, socket and so on. I recomend you to read that page for better understanding.
