I have created a game and I would like to make it so that you can play over the internet. The game is Blackjack and I need some help and advice on how I can get people to play it over the internet.
Any help and advice would be appreciated alot!

P.S. Any help on reading and writing to an access database would also be very helpful!
You'd use sockets to communicate over the network. Read up on the TcpListener and TcpClient classes on MSDN. Study the examples in those articles aswell. Once you've done that, post up here if you have any questions on what you've just read.
How well can you use TCP to get through a firewall? I would think that it might not be the best solution as you'd have to open ports, but I have never tried it. However, TCP, along with other communication methods, are all wrapped into Windows Communication Foundation, which would give you a means of creating a service that could use whichever communication medium you chose.
I have read them but I didn't really understand them. Sorry for being a noob.
What, specifically, do you not understand?
I don't understand how you can send and receive the actual data. I can understand how you set up the connection but not the sending and receiving. Sorry I can't be more specific.
But that is covered in the articles I linked to, have you read them?
I have read them. I will read them again to see if I can understand them.
