Hi Rasheed,

I know little about VB, I  had an ideas which has nothing to do with VB. but
hopefully it give you another approach. Base on your question it is more
about terminology then VB itself, if two person loggon into the same ISP
then you can properly track down each other IP's Address and again most ISP
have firewall & router, which use virtual Mapping IP address & filter IP
packages,  so your program (method) won't work even if you can establish
connection.

My approach is to have two person logon the same Web server, and use the
Server as a bridge to transfer between PCs. e.g. Chat Application. With this
method you, have control over protocol.

Hope I can help.

Ps: If other have any other approach or correct the comment I had above
please feel free to do so, I love to hear about it.
