or answer here on the board.
The more I think, the more confussed I get.
Well, Winsock or DirectPlay are what you''re probably looking for. http://www.yahoo.com isn''t a bad place to start.

Only problem: Im programming under DOS right now, to get the basics first, but maybe you can access winsock from dos under win95/98...

Hmmm, I never used DJGPP, but if you can build 32-bit ''console'' apps, then you can use Winsock.
You''d have to go read up on DOS NIC drivers <shivers>
Might be easier to port to windows.

Yeah, Im changing to either Windows or Linux later, I just thought I''d do a simple chat thingy under DOS first that''s all, I know it can be done, dosdoom for example uses IPX under DOS, but trying to figure ID softwares source out is... well... to hard for me anyway.Ill keep looking, and you can bet, if I get anything working, itll be turned into a tutorial and posted on the web along with commented source code (I hope) =) THEN Im changing platform.

IPX is probably the way to go.
You probably don''t have a NetWare server, so ya?
