chatbots

Hello, a few years ago i built a PHP based chatbot for my guild in an mmo. The whole thing ran as a stand alone, emulating the game client to stay online but recently the marco-polo game between client and the server changed and until i figure it out i cant run the chatbot as a standalone anymore. Now im able to run the bot while a real client is running on the computer but each time it comes up i have to match a new ip adress and socket which makes it kinda tedious so as VB6 is the only other language i sort of know is there a way to fetch these 2 somehow?
