Unfortunately, privoli's suggestion requires you to have a form to put the winsock control on (if i'm not mistaken), so you need to use Winsock APIs i do believe. Don't ask me how though, I'm useless at APIs!!

Someone called Mystiq who is a member of this BB is a wiz at Winsock API programming apparently, perhaps you should try contacting him.
