If you will tell us what errors you are getting, that would help us to figure out what is wrong.

Server

Private Sub Form_Load()
    Winsock1.Protocol = sckTCPProtocol
    Winsock1.LocalPort = 1212
    Winsock1.Listen
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
Dim strData As String
    Winsock1.SendData "Hello From Server" 'the prob is here
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & strData
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim strData As String
    Winsock1.GetData strData, vbString
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & strDataIP
End Sub

Client

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Winsock1.SendData "Client here!"
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
    IP = "127.0.0.1"
    Port = "1212"
    Winsock1.Protocol = sckTCPProtocol
    Winsock1.Connect IP, Port
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Text1 = Text1 & bytesTotal
End Sub

The prob is on the server when i try to connect it says wrong prtocol etc.

Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
Dim strData As String
    Winsock1.SendData "Hello From Server" 'the prob is here
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & strData
End Sub

Change it to:

Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
Dim strData As String
    Winsock1.Close
    Winsock1.Accept requestID
    Winsock1.SendData "Hello From Server" 
    Text1.Text = Text1.Text & strData
End Sub

That part now works but when i try to do this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Winsock1.SendData "Still connected"    
End Sub

it gives me the same error wrong protocol......
