Direct Connection to another comp?

[Big Bill]

Alright I am new here and done a quick search but didn't find what I was after.

I need the coding to enable a direct connection to another computer through vb (I have their IP) that will let me send text or a text file?? I need it for a game I am working on so that we can send messages to one another.

Is it possible to do so the computer doesnt detect the incoming and shoot up warnings like crazy aswell?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by this part?

use the Winsock control
There are many examples in these forums
search for winsock, chat etc..

BTW you will have to install a program on both machines

On one that my friend tried it worked fine but as soon as you started sending messages, the antispyware started saying that a port or something was doing "dangerous activities"


Is there any other way without installing ANYTHING on either machine?

You need a program at the other end to receive what you are sending.

As for a Firewall noticing what is happening, you can't stop this - but for Anti-Spyware to be noticing it is worrying, it sounds like you have found a bad program there.

To stop a Firewall showing messages, just let the person at the other end know that this will be happening, and tell them to allow your program if they want the text/file to be transfered.

You can use net send(XP) from simple msgbox type messages..

Ok so I allow the firewall thing - done - but yeah the antivirus kept blocking it too, I will try something else.

Is there a way to macro the net send in xp? Any code help please?
