Do a search on "Winsock" in this forum, and you should find several threads where this was discussed.

In general, VB is a good Winsock client. But it's not so hot as a Winsock server because of VB's single-threaded architecture. If you plan to write a high-performance Winsock server, you should be thinking about writing in C using multithreaded overlapped I/O calls.
