Network programming help needed

Hey, I have completed a board game, but want to make it playable over the internet. However, I do not have the knowledge to do so. If any of you know of any good tutorials, or can help me one-on-one, let me know. DirectPlay was what I was intending to use, since it seemed as though it would be easiest to learn with, but if you got a better idea, let me know.

Well, there are lots of excellent tutorials on this site.

I wouldn''t bother with DirectPlay though, just go for Winsock. It''s really pretty easy and simple to get started using Winsock, and I think it would be more valuable as a learning experience too. If, later you decide to use some networking library (and there are a lot of good free ones), you will have a much better understanding of what''s going on from using Winsock.
