I have already developed the base, or underlying structure of one if your interested. I know reading someone's elses code is pain, but hey. If you want is. It's yours.

Create a list of common functions that can be passed, I'm guessing that your using the winsock control. When you pass them, the client app, can automaticly decipher them, and send them to the right function.

Set the control, so you can scan IP's. Create an object that can save all settings in, and on Load and Unload, save and open these settings from the registry.

If you have any other questions, don't hesitate.
