    You could always use DirectPlay if you don't know what the protocol is. I usually use the Winsock control and a TCP/IP network. Just send information on a specific high-number port.

    use winsock to send the variables such as position and scores over the network. Ports over 2024 are safe I think.

    Why not on a lower port?

    A lot of the lower ports are already accounted for, and I think there are security limitations on some of them.

    Go to http://grc.com/default.htm and select ShieldsUp! for some interesting information on ports.
