Socket Programming please help?
there are many socket tutorials in the web. try to search with google, or codeguru.com, gamedev.net etc.





basically, you have to create a socket, then connect to an IP address and a specific port, then you can send or receive data.





if you want to act as a server, you have to create a socket, bind it to a port and network interface, then "listen" for incoming connections; if a connection comes in, you "accept" it and then can exchange data with the foreign socket.





yes, it's a bit complicated and for experts.
