System watcher

Hi All,

I not sure where to ask this question so I will start here. I have a piece
of wireless hardware that streams music from my PC to my HiFi. Running on
the PC is a windows service that the wirelss device talks to. I would like
to find out how they communicate with one an other.

When I select an album on the wireless device and press play it must send a
message or raise an event which the aforementioned service traps or responds
to by looking in its database and streaming my selection.

I would like to knock up a little catch all app which I could use to try and
track what was going on and any pointers would be much appreciated (VB6 or
VB.NET).

Sorry if this is vague but its way of my normal path.

Thanks for any help.

Geoff.
