I got a dumb n00b question: Are there any programs/is it possible to make a program that can harvest your friends IP from a messenger (conversation) and plug it into the IP field on VBA link automatically?

I ask for 2 reasons: A.) I am lazy. B.) I don't think all of my contacts are computer literate enough to find out their IP addresses.

no there aren't, but VBALink is opensource, so you can add that feature if you want

Why don't you just start the server and give your IP to them?

Thanks, will do. I've got C++, but I left the install disk at my folks house by mistake, so it may be a while before I start. Any suggestions for which messenger I should start with?

Also, I didn't read far enough to find out that one of the computers in the link would need to be the server, I thought it would be an equal load stream, silly me . I'll rtfm next time.

I tried the approach that each VBA connects to all the others, but it didn't work. You seem to have some programming knowledge, do you know more about network programming (particularly tweaks for making UDP lossless)?

[Arc Mitsuko]

I've never really tried to program something that would access another computer or the internet before, so this will be a first. I don't know how to do what you're asking, but do know two people who might. I have a bro who is majoring in computer programming and an out-of-town friend who is pretty darn good at it. Would you like me to ask either of them?

[Denopqrihg]

Yeah, if you wouldn't mind, that'd be great

[Denopqrihg]
