Chat Program

[JoshK]

Hi,
Is there a link or file I can download that will give a tutorial or show how to make a basic chat program that you can have users connect to via internet? I don't know anything about this, I do know however winsock can be involved. Thanks for any help you can contribute.

hey - thanks!
I found the winsock tutorial VERY helpful. I tried making the simple messaging application, I send to my other computer where I have the receiver application set up but the message never seems to get there, and when I click Send (the command button) a second time I get a error.
I tried using the program he has available for download and before I can test it I get an error upon running it:
Winsock1.RemotePort = 202
"Compile Error: Method or data member not found.
Well, I still got something out of this, I just don't know how I can fix what I'm doing so it will actually work lol. Thanks for the reply!

check that the nameing for the winsock control is consistant throughout with the actual controls name

method or data member not found indicates that it is refering to a control that doesnt exsist
