usage of both datasocket and winsock

dear experts,
 
is it possible to use datasocket and winsock in the same wireless network? cos i'm having a situation where there are 2 computers with existing VC++ -based program using winsock for communication and now i'm trying to impliment labview (with datasocket for transfering of data) on both computers. i have to make both the VC++ program and labview should work simultaneously.  
 
so is it feasible? or should i integrate my existing VC++ program with labview and just use winsock alone?

oh, i forgot to mention that both existing VC++ program and Labview work simultaneously and at some point of time exchange information/data. sorry about the disorganised message

Hi, DAQmx.

There is no limitation that would prohibit Datasocket and Winsock from being used for communication between the same two machines simultaneously. That said, however, they will both operate according to regular TCP/IP standards, so you'll need to make sure that more than one application is not trying to use the same port.

Good luck!
