Well considering this sounds more like a curious question then an assignment I will help

Becouse I want you to learn how to do it yourself I wont give you the code

I will however tell you how to make it and give you help with what to do on certain things

before I can however I must know what kind of chat?

Similar to an Instant Messaging Program?

Or like a chat room program?

Is like a mail system?

There are several ways to make it just let me know and I can help you out

I would also like to know what you want it for if you dont mind

Sory for my englsih! :D

Im not profesional programming(Newbie).

I want to make program chat like MIRC, or Instant Messaging

Im only know C++, not good,

Why i make program chat?

because i want learning about network

Maybe anyone have reference to make it.

Thanks

alright network programming is a tricky task

do you know anything about basic C++?

If you dont know C++ then you should learn it first because once you jump into

network programming...

theres no turning back

and its a scary place out there =P

I found this :

Network Programming for Microsoft Windows 2nd Edition

Book Description
This updated edition provides the latest information about how to write applications that take advantage of the advanced networking protocols and technologies that Microsoft Windows XP supports-Internet Protocol (IP) versions 4 and 6, Pragmatic General Multicasting (PGM) protocol, Internet Group Management Protocol 3 (IGMPv3), IPv6 multicasting, the Network Location Awareness (NLA) namespace provider, the Winsock Provider Interface, 64-bit Winsock APIs, and .NET Sockets. The book includes code samples in the Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft Visual C++, and Microsoft Visual C# development systems.

i have book and souce code.
i'll be learn for moment..

Alright, when you are finished with the book just let me know

I would however suggeset you learn basic C++ before just jumping into the socket stuff

because after you start, it's really hard to start over from scratch

Yo!

I'm also trying to make a C++ chat program for my guild so we can coordinates attacks better in a game.
Problem is, I got no idea of what I'm doing.
I've studied C++ for some time and can do easy programs in DOS and such.
But I got no idea of how to make it interact with a server and then send messages.

I can make the login, easy!
But if you would help me out here on how to make it I'd be really glad.
(It's enough if the program is only in DOS, since that's how I want it, "easy and fast!")
So please master.. TEACH ME :D
