Connecting initially

[Insane]

I am interested in becoming a bot-maker.  I've searched on the bot developtment sites, and I've found lots of useful information once connected to Battle.net, but I can't find how to intially connect... Can someone please tell me how?

Oh yeah, I'm going to use VB.

Well, I suggest reading into using Window's Sockets.  You should look into Win32 Winsock API.

However, Visual Basic comes with something called mswinsck.ocx.  It basically makes using winsock a breeze.  You should look into this too.
