Inter program communication

I would like to communicate between 2 programs running on separate
computers (but on my home network). We did this 20 years ago with
netbios but is there a more elegant solution using vb.net?

Thanks

possible options are netbios, ip (tcp/udp),msmq, webservices,
remoting, named pipes, com+ and I guess a few more..

All have different uses but are used for ipc.

I would lookup remoting and the Tcp sockets on msdn. It's been a
while, but I believe they have complete working samples you could use
to get started.

Thanks,

You might want to consider sockets or remoting
