Hi..
What kind of tutorial your are looking...There are many type of multipalyer gaem that can be made...
Well If you want a lan type game for RPG game I think you should search for the "Game server" tutorial the concept of it...how they work may be you will not find them in VB only but Vb.Net can have few...
Also if you need all from beginning that how to write a game you can first need a build a simple chat application in Vb it is going to help you to understand the enivornment of it

Yeah you will need to use winsock or the replacement for it called cSocket or something. Winsock OCX is tons more stable but you can only use it if you have vb6 pro or higher.
Read up on winsock and like vikasumit said make a simple chat program: http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_winsock_chat.html
Making a multiplayer game is really just the computers chating rather than the ppl.

| thank you i think i understand, multiplayer is just one computer saying 'hey player 2 is at x34 and y43 and he is level 17, i thought about that and came across a new problem, do i build 2 programs? the world then the players? both the server and the client have the pictures and codeing right? basically im trying to figure what to put on the server and what to put on the client |

| Just because the example program won't work doesn't mean you can't learn from it. |

If the server is just serving, (not a 'playing' server, with someone behind that pc as well), it does not need graphics. It just needs to know the map.
