RE: Networking

["Ritchie, Rob" <rdritchi@bechtel.com>]

I would suggest learning networking first. 

Grab a good book on Socket Programming, if you are programming with Windows;
Nassers's book Winsock 2.0 is a great place to start.

You should download the Winsock2 Developers Kit from Microsoft's WebSite (I
don't know where it is)

Once you have a handle on basic socket programming, you can better use
DirectPlay.
