Can some one please show me a working example of how to send a string like "packet information" to a server and receive the data it gives back. Im on visual studios 2005

What protocol do you want to use? TCP or UDP?

What are you trying to build, give some overview. What data do you want back from the receiver?

I would like to make a program that connects to an aol server so i can chat with my friends at school so i would like to use TCP or what do you reccomend?

so basically you are looking to build an AOL chat engine.
