Try a networking newsgroup. This newsgroup is for Microsoft ".NET"
programming questions.

It's no help to you to know that you've posted your question to the wrong
newsgroup?

You can't surmise from my comment that you should post in a more appropriate
place?

This doesn't help you understand that if you were to post in an appropriate
place, that is related to the question you are asking, you may get an answer
to your question?

If you can't understand that then I don't think you should be attempting to
network computers together.
