You'll need to learn about sockets, there are many good books out there on network programming and useing sockets in C/C++. If you want to see a really good example of this, look at the source code of a mud (eg circlemud -

http://www.circlemud.org).

A mud is a text only multiplayer game based usually off Dungeons and Dragons games. Go here for a nice explanation of sockets

Good luck, hope this helps... Rob
