            if $packets = test Then 
                MsgBox(1, "test", "if you can see this, we have connection! =D") 
                $masterip=TCPRecv($mainsocket, 1024) 
                $choice=MsgBox(3, "test", "end connection?") 
                if $choice=6 Then 
                    MsgBox(1,"test","WHY?!?!?! we're ending this now anyway!")
                    Exit 
                Else 
                    MsgBox(1,"test", "so that's it!? you're going to be an ass like that?!")
                    Exit 
                EndIf 
            EndIf 
        EndIf 
    WEnd
 WEnd
Func Exit_client() 
    Exit
EndFunc

i made this little thing. well... i studied some code earlier.

now i'm going to do a sender thing by guessing where to put what.... xD

the issue at hand: this is not quite complete. i want $masterip to receive my ip, connect to it and send me a "we're connected! yay!" message.

not necessarily in that particular phrasing. except i don't know how to message that particular variable.

i can't even begin imagining the keywords for a search, or how to use the help file for that.

can i get some help on the topic?

The variable names Larry used in this example are straight-up comical, but it illustrates things very well:

is there, perhaps, something EASIER then larry's thing?

it uses stuff i can not even begin understanding.
