On a computer with two kind of connections, one for internet and one for lan, when I try to create a connection to another computer on lan immediatly starts the remote access mask for internet connection, and I can't estabilish the connection I need.
look in the demos/internet folder of delphi3/4
there is a chat demo which works on LAN and internet also
Or look here for some really good free winSock components (with full sources and demos):

TClientSocket
TServerSocket
works for me
those components are not very good.. fpiette's pack is the best option for delphi. I have experienced with both, and I got better results with fpiette, f.e. to connect with delphi standard comps. it takes a few seconds.. with fpiette's it's instantaneous.
