I'am wanting to create my own client/server program. With the Winsock control. I'm not sure how to define the server. This client is going to be a 1 on 1 program. Going to have chatting between 2 people, and file sending/receiving between 2 people. Also going to add some things to make the chat fun such as Gestures, *whispers* etc. (i.e. strUser: & vbtab & "*whispers* & txttalk.text)
How can i using the winsock control turn myself or the .localip into a server for someone else to connect too. i mean do i just listen on the port, or do i ahve to connect to myself. Once theirs a _ConnectRequest how do i connect to that user that tried to connect to me so i can respond?
