so i've been reading up on the 4 layer model of TCP/IP... i think I understand what the individual layers do, but i'm confused about how they work together. is it the case that when a connection is made over TCP/IP, the transport layer sends a query which is translated by the internet layer into the network layer, and then the reverse happens with the SYN packets etc, this time going all the way up to the application layer?

might have this entirely wrong; just having trouble getting my head around it

Nah, each layer will just add its own headers and trailers to the packet (sorta like envelops). When the frame reached the receiver, the receiver will "peel away" all those headers and trailers to get to the data.

Think about phone numbers. If you want to phone someone out of town you will have to add a city phone code before the phone number. And if that person is out of the country then you'll have to add a country code before the city code too.

Hope it's help. I wasn't really paying attention in class anyway :p
