    Re: help connecting multiple clients to a server at the same port

    The server listens on Port X. When it gets a connect request on Port X, it creates a new Winsock control using Port X+(number of users currently connected+1), sends that number to the client and the client connects to that port number.
    The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
    The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
    Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
    Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.

    All it takes is an array of Winsock controls on the server.
