    If you click on the link to follow discussions on the Winsock Chat topic, there are forum posts that correct the errors.

    There is something wrong with your LAN then, because Ive tried this on my LAN, and it works perfectly after a litttle modification.

    Any TCP/IP based application what works on a LAN with work on the internet, and vice-versa, as long as you've got your IP Addresses all OK.

    Your router must be set up like mine; no winsock allowed . So you should ask your admin to change this.
    All contents of the above post that aren't somebody elses are mine, not the property of some media corporation.
    (Just a heads-up)

    DaoK,

    The systems on your network may not be running TCP/IP.
    For example if you're running a netware network, all you'd really need is IPX/SPX.

    But assuming you're running TCP/IP, because you can read this thread, then check if you can ping other systems on the network.

    Go into a DOS Prompt, and type :

    Code:
    ping IP_ADDRESS
    ... replace 'IP_ADDRESS' with the IP address of some other system on the network.

    To find IP Addresses, you could download this app : http://www.everymanonline.com/whadda...escription.htm

    An alternative would be to go to systems, and :
    IF they're running Win9x : Start > Run > winipcfg
    IF they're running NT/2K : Start > Run > command > ipconfig

    Those apps will show you the IP configuration on the $local$ machine.

    So once you've seen if you can ping the systems, then you know you can communicate with them ; then you know there's something amiss.
    If so, post your code and we'll have a look-see.

    Cool

    Use DirectX's DirectPlay feature instead of Winsock. It offers complete multiplayer support. DirectPlay is the standard Internet game communication system. Most good games out there use DirectX. You then could also use the rest of the DirectX system(DirectDraw, Direct3d, DirectSound, etc.) for the game. The DirectX system is faster than the normal GDI functions such as BitBlt. DirectX is accessed using regular Declare statement API calls.

    Have fun

    Hey, do you have any good tutorials on DirectPlay? Most DirectX websites have nothing on it
    Code:
    Temp = Me.GetIQ()
'Error 9: Overflow
'DON'T PANIC! :eek:

    To learn how to use realistic effects in your games like fire, rain, snow and magic effects, read my article on particles systems here.

    Jesus I avoid DirectPlay like the plague.
    I prefer to do things myself.

    Tho its support for IPX does excite me a little
