You are searching the wrong class. Tcp has connections, so normally you create 
a server (lets call it QTcpServer) and make it listen() on a certain port. 
Then when a client (using QTcpSocket) establishes a connection to that port, 
it emits a signal like newConnection() upon which your program fetches all 
pending connections from that server with nextPendingConnection() and gets 
back pointers to QTcpSocket which are already open with the connection to the 
client. [*]

Its only the connectionless udp where multiple connections can be handled by 
the same socket. Mainly because there are no connections, only incoming 
datagrams...

Have fun,

Arnold
