VB LAN connection help

I am trying to create a game in vb :sigh: that will send data to another computer via the local network. Im lost as to where to start on the data transfer. Anyone have a suggestions as to what transfer would be fast enough for this? UDP,TCP,sockets? Using vb 2003 btw, so winsock is not available as far as i know...

Your are developing a game and hence , you need a reliable connection (you need to know if you are connected or not , etc ) , would say Use a TCP connection , also u are right there is Winsock control in .net but there is a library stronger than it , it is under the Namespace System.Net , use it , also if you are developing a game may be your are using directx , it also has a component called as direct play , which can be used for communication , i case you are using directx Let me know if you need more info
