Ok, I know NOTHING(in the most extreme sense of the word) about multiplayer. I need to know:
1) How to connect over LAN.
2) How to get the keys pressed on the other computer to return values.

The only books I can think of off the top of my head are written for people using C++ with DirectPlay, which might help, but I don't know.
The Beginner's Guide to DarkBasic Game Programming has a pretty thorough section on multiplayer programming.

Is there any books JUST about multiplayer. I know everything else from programming other lanuages, but I never tried multiplayer.

We're working on a multiplayer system (a real online network) and putting together a simple connection library for all languages.

It's WIP at the moment, but info can be found here:
http://darkbasicpro.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=31869&b=8

It'll be geared towards serious projects. We expect to have a simple online order form with immediate access (if resources are immediately available).
