Yes winsock is the solution. You can also try to use MAPI control.

if you dont want client/server model, but want peer to peer then look into multithreading

you can also use an external utility to send messages through a network.
use the "net" utility.
from vb u can use it with the shell function

for example :-

shell "net send server hello world"

where "server" is the name of the remote computer you are trying to send message and "heelo world" is the msg to be sent.

mind that this utility works in winxp platform only.
