Port Monitorig?

[dustbuster]

I need a program that will
- monitor a certain port
- parse the content of the transmission
- Pop up a window or notification with a message
- log the IP and the message

Can this be done?

in short yes.

have a look into the winsock2.h header file

that basicaly covers
- monitor a certain port
- parse the content of the transmission

for logging to file, well theres lots of different ways for that (basic file handling/streams etc)
- log the IP and the message

and again plenty of ways to do
- Pop up a window or notification with a message

Ok. I'll look into the header file. The reading/parsing the port transmission was the biggie.

Do you know how I can create one of those fancy notification windows that come up from the task bar. MSN uses them. Or is that a VB thing?
