Connecting to Internet

How would you make a connection of two non-lan computers through b3d?

Anyone know?

I think you need their ip adresses. You can look them up on certain sites (whatsmyip.com?)
Then, you could take a look at the StartNetGame command and related commands. There should be some code for it somewhere on this site. In google, type "StartNetGame site:blitzbasic.com" to find them.

thanks! So do I just select tcp\ip then type in the IP adress of the out of network computer I want to connect to?

Yes, and when the connection is established, you could use SendNetMsg to send data across.
