Hi,

You can use the DLL.  I'm sure that there are examples available online.

However, it is much easier to use the Winsock ActiveX control.  Just add it
to your toolbox and drop it on a form.  Or, you can download the free
SocketWrench control, which is even more flexible.  There are many code
examples for these controls online.  Google will find them.

BTW, I use the Winsock control that comes with VB quite happily.

You can also use the Winsock OCX as a reference.  Just browse to it in the
reference dialog, and declare it withevents

Im a complete newbie in VB 6.0 so i would appriciate ure help...
I want to make simple communication between 2 computer in a lan, but i
dont want to use the winsock control thingy... I have to declare them
functions out of the winsock32.dll right? so which funct do i need to
establish a connection? wich to send? which to recieve and so on... i
got several example programs but theyre much to complexe for me :/ so i
would welcome some clear understandable advice ^^ i dont want to make no
file tranfer or email, just some bytes exchanged between them comps ^^
