Well the TCP/IP stuff is rather fundamental. I don't know how you plan to "find some server code" - each bit of server software is different as each bit of software is different, so any "server code" you find will probably just be the generic opening port stuff. I presume you're using the VB Winsock control so that really shouldn't be difficult (you can use the freeware Catalyst Socketwrench as an alternative - it's what I use for QuestNet Server) - implementing some kind of server protocol is something you'll have to do yourself.

ok ive stopped doing that one...
right, this code happens to cause an error, and when i press Debug, it highlights - w2.SendData Text2.Text
Private Sub Command3_Click() w2.SendData Text2.Text text1.Text = text1.Text & vbCrLf & "Client(You): " & Text2.Text Text2.Text = "" Text2.SetFocus End Sub

when trying to connect, when typing a message. i think ill just start from the beginning and read loads of tutorials instead of starting from the advanced parts lol

I was gonna postthis as a new topic but noticed Alex talking about the Winsock control and so decided to post it here
When I go to use the Winsock control it says I don't have permission to use it
I'm using Visual Basic 6 Enterprise Edition, Windows 98. Will the fact that I'm using enterprise affect winsock?
