Is there a way to connect outside of your local area? Like from your home computer to your work computer?

That's a bit vague. First, you're connecting outside of your LAN by visiting this site and posting here, so it really depends what you're trying to do. Or are you having firewall problems, or trouble with port forwarding?

Like if you wanted to conect to a friends home computer from your computer, then send chat messages across.

Oh. You'll need to use the either the TCP Stream commands, or UDP. There are dozens of network code examples here. You'll probably need to set up port forwarding too, if you have a router, or have UPnP enabled.

Thanks, the Tcp commands seem to work.
