@the rest:
is there anyone?

I've had a small amount of experience with stuff over the network. Basically, you have to name the hardrive of the other computer on your computer (on mine its called drive Z) and do the same for the other computer. Then make a shared file that both computers can read from and write to. Put all the information about the individual players moves and what-not in this file. Then update the game on both computers using the new information from the file. As for internet, im not sure what to do...

your going to have to learn a network protocol, like TCP or IPX. No other way of accomplishing the task other than learn a protocol.

(ok you could use shared files, but thats crazy and hiding the work to your OS and hard drive. very much slower than using the protocol directly).

ok... that doesn't help.... i have no clue what that stuff is.

Google each word you dont understand. Find each acronym you dont know in something like http://acronymfinder.com, maybe that will help. this is old knowlege already written down. try use some of it. search for networks.

Why dont you find out about winsock lib? It deals with the networking and other stuff.
