Anyone have one for C++? I looked in the articles section and saw one.. but it was for Visual Basic :/.

No but if you get one dont keep it to yourself =) I''m a terrible newbie coder trying to write an alpha client/server applet in C++.

Needless to say I am terrible.

good luck with it

A very good sample of a client/server simple chat thing comes with SDL_net.
I highly suggest you to use SDL_net, instead of Winsock programming.

Why ? Winsock is not that complicated ?

Complicated no, Terrible as far as latency and reliability yes =) Also compatability. Winsock is a Win32 thing. for the most openended software you should always concider an alternative.

There are tons of freeware or try before you buy network coding modules out there that provide myriads of depth beyond basic winsock performance.

Mind you if you really dont care and jsut want 2 client apps to chat to each other go for winsock, its fast and dirty in a pinch.
