Starting DPlay Games (like Forsaken)

Hi, there are Multiplayer Sites like MSN Zone or GameSpy which have Lobby applets to start games like e.g. Forsaken. I wonder if they are using DPlay functionality. Are there any web pages/documentation describing how to use this funtionality? Thanks, JeffSmart.

Look it up in your DirectX SDK. I know it is in there, how to make it so that any DirectPlay Lobby can interact with your game.

Sorry I can''t tell you more, I have only done it once

If one person would write a book on DirectX in VB, I would make them a rich man!
Turring Machines are better than C++ any day ^_~
