tcp/ip between ASP client and VB program (server), possible?

Hey guys,

i want to create a tcp/ip connection between a server and a client. On the server, i have this program which is written in visual basic waiting to accept a connection from the client. Now, on the client side, i'm using an ASP web page to make the connection. I don't know how to code it to connect to the server side using sockets and send a message (ie: hello world) to the server.

Do i need the same type of "socket" to be able to make a connection? (ie: i imported System.net.sockets for the server, and on the client, using the asp webpage, can i use like ActiveXpert.Sockets to create a connection?) I'm so lost...

Thanks!
