Online games are pretty difficult to create. They require learning a whole new system of sending messages, receiving messages, etc. (you can probably tell by my amazingly technologically specific language that....I don't know how to do it either =p)
I'd suggest looking at 39dll (if it's not outdated...I haven't been keeping up) and reading some tutorials on it. Seems to be the "industry standard" AFAIK.
In addition, I hear GM's built-in mplay features are seriously depreciated, so I wouldn't recommend even bothering to learn them.
Hope this helped!

LOL, if you already have your own dll and your only problem is you don't understand one term, then you do NOT suck at online game making XD

Do you see the "Unknown variable myid" ?
That's your problem. Reading a debugging log is important.
Make sure global.myid is actually filled with something, or initialised to 0

you should read Beej's socket programming guide. The book is free online unless you want to buy a printed version.
