Simcoder Posted November 9, 2003 Posted November 9, 2003 Ok, let me start off by saying that I'm fairly new to VB.Net and I need a step by step simplified layout of how to accomplish my task. I would like to create an application that has a label, text box, and a button and a seperate text box and button to enter an ip address. Now say I have it set up and when I enter the text "Hello" in the text box and press the button, it will display the word Hello on the label. It was also put the text "Hello" on the label of another computer. That is the purpose of the ip address. Is there an easy way to connect 2 computers together using an ip address and transfer data to and from each others and make it display it on the label. The best way to explain this is to compare it to msn messenger. I want to type text, press a button and that data will be sent to the receiving computer that is specified by the ip address and shown on the label. Any help would be appreciated Thanks!
