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?
