Hi Zapper,

You can use winsock in vb.
winsock in vb uses same api as that of the c(/++).

You can start studding winsock by use of MSDN and also very good quality help is present on internet. you just need to googled and you will get all your queries solved in vb winsock programming.

Since your using Vb.Net according to your first note. I would suggest using .Net Sockets not Vb6.0 sockets in Vb.Net.
