This may sound really really dumb but, how exactly do you send packets to battle.net?
Or how do you connect to battle.net? I'm using Visual Basic
Plz help even though this is really newbish

Learn how a network connect works. Figure out things like how to send a HTTP request to a server, and things like that. Look into Ethereal (www.ethereal.com) and figure out how a packetsniffer works. Then come back here armed with that knowledge and read up on Battle.net.
Allright I'll do that.
They should be a "getting started" sticky with what to do , links , ect. It seems these questions come up almost every day.
Since I just went through that phase I could write up a short tutorial on getting started. I might not be helpful in this case since only know C++... though I assume VB has winsock and a char * counterpart?
