How should I improve my question?

You need not - all you have to do is to read the documentation (all 4) for Socket.Connect...

What's with the square brackets? You don't need them for anything in the code.

You also don't need to "Long.Parse" the IP address string and don't even need to create an IPEndPoint object. Just pass the IP address string in as the first parameter.

Here is an example: Synchronous Client Socket Example | Microsoft Docs[^]

VB

Dim remoteEP As New IPEndPoint(ipAddress, 11000)  
Dim sender As New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp)  
sender.Connect(remoteEP)
