I'm trying to write a chat app that will eventually be included in a larger piece of software. I haven't been coding in VB for long and it's a lot harder than I expected.

I want the program set up so that a central server is used to pass messages between individual clients. I also want each client to have a dropbox which lets them choose from a list of other online clients and I need to take a log of all conversations.

I have already written (Or rather I've largely plagiarised ) a very simple single client-server chat program and I'm in the middle of converting it.

It's going very slowly (writing it, not running it) and I would gladly welcome any relevant tips, advice, links, etc.
