I am in the process of planning the structure for a phase 10 game and the
only thing that i dont understand at all so that i can plan the logic is how
to make it playable of a net work and/or the internet ?

the game can have upto six players so i need to have six instances of the
program connected together
now is there an object already in vb.net that will handle this communication
and also should i make a module that runs in the background to command all
screens or should i determine a host computer each game?

Yes. Its called Direct Play. Download the DirectX SDK from the MS website
and also the managed DirectX extensions.
 
i downloaded it and installed it and when i opened one of the tutorials up
to take a look at it it wouldnot work
becuase is could not find the imports micorosft.directx

how do i had it to vb.net ??
