Somebody Help me in this complicated program!!

[chrono_cross]

I have two PC's connected through LAN,the first PC has a program written in VB contains text

boxes,these Text boxes has a periodically - updated values (like a program reads temperature

every # seconds using external thermometer)

the task is to write a VB program on the second PC accessing values in text boxes and display it

on its screen by any way(label or textbox)

i am very confused because i don't where to start this project,somebody give me a brief describtion


PLEEEEEEEEEASE HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP

I can't really understand what the program is supposed to do? Read computer thermometers?

the first program (on the 1st PC) reads thermoeters (or any other values) and save them into text boxes, it's out of the concern, the task is to write another program (on the 2nd PC) that capture these values from text boxes and display it on it's own screen

The quickest way probably would be to send data from PC1 to any server as text. This of course should be done automatically by a program which is run on that PC1 . Then another program on PC2 would read this data from the same server as a text file and turned into values written in the text box. Sending data straight away from one pc to the other, when they only use Lan connection is much more complicated. Winsock would not recognize internal IP numbers. The speed of the program I recomend you now would not be impresive. Still I can write it for you for a price . Price is for the cost of server on which the transfered data would be stored.

thanks malin for your offer but i developed a program using winsock , this component is wonderful and easy in use , i get a clear understanding of the point that instead of asking for a problem solution , Try by your self then ask whenever it stucks , i am learning now to be expert on VB

thanks again

Yes. I don't have as much knowledge of winsock as I would like to. If you find some spare time, you would be very helpfull to show me the simplest example of transfering just any data from one PC to the other PC, when they are connected by LAN only and they don't use internet. Yes. I did seem a bit selfish in that post of mine.
