It is my understanding that directPlay as we know it is being phased out with the advent of Windows Vista and directX 10. I myself am studying windows sockets in the hopes of getting online play going, and I would reccomend the same to anyone else considering future online play. There is a set of activeX controls called socket wrench out there that aids in the creation of multi player socket connections that you might also look into.
