Sending a string to another computer

Hello,

I'm trying to make a program that runs on two different computers. The first one will send out a string to the other one, and then display that string in a message box.

It's not really that useful, I'm just trying to figure out the basics of Network (or internet) programming.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

FYI, read the intro threads of this new forum. In particular, seek out the 'beej' tutorial, and read how to make a client and server.
