Use Lidgren. Lidgren is a socket wrapper, I have used it in a few small scale multiplayer games, ( mainly by using a header stating packet type. ie first byte represents packet type).

@adyemz21:
I'm just curious, did you voted 3 just because you still don't have a link which would show you how to do all your work?
Please answer.

actually , the link that had suggested is great. I've been to many resources/ links to go this far for our project. I thought I should give some points... but it doesn't mean that I give that because I'm looking for a link that will show all the work for me. ^^,

You need to learn about SOCKETS here is a good article about sockets I suggest you give it a read:

If this your first game I suggest you do something simple as it can get complex because of sync issues.

Good Luck!!

Regards,
K,D.
