Need help to develope a LAN simulator

[barunbiswas]

Dear all,
I am going to develope a LAN simulator for my final year Engineering project. It will consist of nodes and bridges. The LAN simulator will enable a person to send messages(or packets) from one machine to another through bridges and routers. I have to develope both server side programming and client side programming. But I have no previous experience of network programming. So, please help me to develope this project and let me know the name of the sites from where I can get the required help.
I, therefore, hope that you will surely stand by me and send me the required information.

Yours sincerely,
Barun.

Well,

you want to send data packets form computer to another on LAN,
you can do it by the windows Socket API interface which working
as interface for TCP and this can be done by simple tool called
wisock control at VB.
