I have an idea,want to if possible and tips!

[sebs]

I just had an idea for a project. I would like to make a program that would connect my computer with my friend computer. i.e.Sort of like napster but it would be only me and my friend;we would be able to share almost everything so if i want to give something to my friend i'd just upload it in is computer and vice versa.I have other ideas but i need a few tip to start :

-what\where\how to connect on the net or on an another computer.

-how download\upload data from two computers.

-do i just need the IP adress of the other computer to connect on it.

that would be a lot of information for me, for now!

Thanx in advance

You already have this if you have win98. Check up on Dial up server (should find in the Dial up networking folder under connections). If you have win95 you will have to download from microsoft site. Of course if you still want to make program, I can't help you.

Just a thought, have you looked at Netmeeting? You can download it from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads

It fits the bill for what you've described, a friend of mine uses it to maintain his trans-pacific romance with a webcam, it works pretty well!
