are you getting the error in the server or client?

If its in the client this might be it. I have never connected the way you have. Just try it like this(your way is probably correct but just in case...)

'your way
'On Error Resume Next 
'sock.Connect txtIP, txtPort 

'try this
sock.remotehost = txtip.text ' maybe its because you didn't add .text?
sock.remoteport = txtport.text
sock.connect

Good luck!
By the way, I have a winsock demo on my site... http://www.stevescyberhome.net
