Thanks for the info and patience - I'll contact Hughes Net and see how/if I can configure my modem.

Here's what Hughes.net is saying...
Tim, as I understand you want to remotely access a computer. I would like to inform you that as far, as ports are concerned HughesNet does not block any ports. Tim, I am sorry but we do not have information about the Remote Access where you can remotely access the computer at Business end from HughesNet system. However if you want to remotely access the HughesNet system from the Business end then you would require a static IP. While checking the records I found that you do not have a Static IP. A static IP address allows you to gain access to your computer from the internet. To get the Static IP I would suggest you to contact Billing Department. I am sorry to inform you but HughesNet does not provide technical assistance with Remote Access.
I'm at a lost. As mentioned previously, Sprint/Dell and others allow "chat" with no problems. Maybe the problem is with using CSocket where as Sprint/Dell is using the browser and they use something else? I'm lost...
Thanks..

For the "others" that allow chat, remember, they're doing that differently - through their servers.
However, you want to run a server behind your modem/router - that requires incoming connections,
which need to get to the computer listening for them.
I googled "HughesNet port forwarding" last night and most hits stated that a static IP was needed.
I'm not sure why, except for the fact that dynamic IP can change making hard for remote nodes to connect,
but it should still work the same if the other end knows what IP you have at the moment.
Regardless, there were a lot of hits saying the static IP was required.
As far as configuring the hardware - that "should" be trivial. Generally there's an HTTP interface to do the
configuration, but I couldn't find any specifics on the HughesNet modems. Google will help there for sure though.
I went through this when I first started communication programming - I'm a programmer, not an IT guy, dammit!
You'll know your network really well when you get it working 
Good luck - you can do it!

Can you ping both the IP address and the host name?
Can you map a drive letter from one to the other?

Yes I can ping the "external IP" address with no problem. By external IP I'm referring to the IP used from outside our local network.
Not sure how to even try mapping a drive to a remote computer that does not show up in Windows Explorer.
I'm lost...

But can you ping the host name? If not, then you have a DNS issue where the host name is not being translated to its IP address.

Click Map Network Drive from the Tools menu. In the Folder combobox, type the name of your remote machine using the \\server\share format. If this works, then the problem is likely with your code. If this does not work, then it's doubtful your code can overcome it. I'm not familiar with your situation so this is just a guess on my part.

I'm trying to get the selected item from a CListCtrl. I intercept the NM_CLICK messge and try the following:
<br />
NMITEMACTIVATE* pNMItem = (NMITEMACTIVATE*)pNMHDR;<br />
<br />
int nItem = pItem->iItem;<br />
int nSubItem = pItem->iSubItem;<br />
<br />
I get the subitem no problem but the iItem is always -1. I'm sure it's pretty simple but I can't figure out what I'm missing. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul

Paul -
Try using the GetFirstSelectedItemPosition method for CListCtrl.
This returns a POSITION which is used in the next call to GetNextSelectedItem (that will return and item number).
Then use the item number in the call to GetItem (you need to send in a pointer to an LVITEM structure).
Here's some sample code...
Hope this helps,
Tim 
CListCtrl myList;
POSITION pos = mylist.GetFirstSelectedItemPosition();
while (NULL != pos)
{
int nItem = mylist.GetNextSelectedItem(pos);
LVITEM lvItem;
ZeroMemory ( &lvItem, sizeof(LVITEM) );
lvItem.mask = LVIF_IMAGE | LVIF_TEXT; //gets the information you are interest in
lvItem.iItem = nItem;
if (TRUE == mylist.GetItem(&lvItem))
{
<do something="" with="" item="" info="">
break; //if you want to stop
}
}

Maybe this will help a bit...from the docs:
"The iItem member of lpnmitem is only valid if the icon or first-column label has been clicked.
To determine which item is selected when a click takes place elsewhere in a row, send an
LVM_SUBITEMHITTEST message."

Hi All,
I get a hang when trying to expand the 'str_vec' variable
(code follows) in the Variables window. It however has no
such trouble when trying to expand the 'int_vec' variable
in the window.
Note that I set breakpoints at the 'display_message()'
and at the while(1) statements and get the same
effect.
Help appreciated.

I tried it with VS6 and it seemed to work fine.

Negative. Too cost prohibitive.

Hi there,
I have an error with this line when initializing a dialog,
this->SetWindowText ("Hi there") ;
The compiler says:
error C2664: 'CWnd::SetWindowTextW' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 'const char [9]' to 'LPCTSTR'
I guess I have something missing but I don't know what.

You are probably building a unicode application - that is the default in VS2005. Try:
this->SetWindowText(L"Hi there");
Judy

Looks like you're doing a Unicode build, so the SetWindowText method is
expecting a const wchar_t * but you're passing a const char *.
// better:
SetWindowText (L"Hi there") ;
// best (will work for both unicode and non unicode builds):
SetWindowText (_T("Hi there")) ;

Try this:
this->SetWindowText (_T("Hi there"));

I am really surprised nobody mentioned:
SetWindowText (L"Hi there");
or
SetWindowText (_T("Hi there"));
