I have 5 computers at school sharing a T1 Connection, and I am making a game for them all, but how do I make a chat room at the bottum that DOES NOT use WINSOCK, because VB Learnign edition doesn''t come with it. Can I do it some other way? Thanks, -MegaMan

I did a little search and came up with this which seems to indicate that you can use it to use WinSock directly.

I don''t use VB so I can''t comment on the ability to add it to the learning edition but it might help?

As to the other part of the question, see above

You could use DirectPlay.

...or the Win32 API directly (unless the Learning Edition of VB can't make calls into DLLs)

If you go the API route check out http://www.allapi.net
