Hi, welcome to the forum.

The search box (top right of the page) usually helps, I found this TCP chat example

Try this one, s!mpL3 LAN Messenger, too. Either for examples or to use the whole thing.

I once made an IRC-like chatclient/server in Visual Basic 6. With emoticons and such. A fully working chatbox with administrators and operators. Kick/ban/privMSG etc. It is not very hard if you understand the basics and principles of Winsock/TCP.

Also have a look at this, this (cisco) and this.

Also RFC1459 (IRC RFC) is relevant to read and understand how to communicate client/server.

I too am trying to make my own one, Theres a good tutorial here >> Tutorials (TCP networking)

If you want to make a simple one. But I dont think it shows you how to make a chat program though, Just shows how to use tcp
