Please point me in right direction.

I want to make a simple software that a few clients can connect to each other or maybe a server over the internet. Just for now it would be as simple as each person with the ability to send chat or small graphics similiar to emoticons to all the other clients. I just don't know any code for communicating over the internet part. I'm am best with VB6. Just wondering if there are some keywords or methods used for this type of thing that I could google.

Please where possible try to post specific examples and it is actually against forum policy to post links to JM competitors.

You can use the site www.Freevbcode.com

but i recommend looking in the FAQ at the top of this forum! Plenty of links in there!

thanks, I've heard the name Winsock before but did know of anything about it. Thanks, that's all I need to know for now.

What's a JB competitor?
