Right, heres the background
im trying to create an MSN Messenger, Chat program.
I seem to have a few options
1)Use a central UDP connection, and send all data thru that
2)have a central 1 for detecting incoming connections, incoming connections give there local IP this then opens a new form passing the remote IP to that, and the new form sends a message back with its own Local IP
Option 2 is the better 1 i think. but I ahve a few questions with that.
How can I check that a port on my Computer is not already taken by another program?
What happens if heaven forbid two people try to start a conversation with me at the same time? just to check it wont crash down
ty in advance
