hi.

i'm working on a kind of messager, but it has to work in one way only. so that computer #1 can send data to computer #2. what is the best way to do that??

Are there several possibilities???

Winsock, is the way

Have a look at the simple chat program in my sig, you'd do somthing like that but not allow the app that is on computer 2 to send data back

is there another way than winsock??

[Pino]

winsock would be the easiest....

I think all the other methods would be based around winsock. AFAIK

is there a way to do it with directX ???????

[Pino]

Not direct X but direct play, which is wrapped around winsock, winsock is the easiest way I can think of

Try the game programming forum for link to direct play sites
