I need to send some data, 2 strings and a list, to a remote computer. 
After thinking about it some last night, it wouldn't be hard to just 
send it all as a string and then parse it on the receiving end.

I'm writing a program for work (and for a class project, so no answers!) 
that will provide some info on the network location of a laptop.  The 
client will gather IP address, MAC address, and a traceroute dump (the 
list mentioned above), then send this off to a super simple server that 
receives the data and puts it in a database.  We've had a few laptops 
'disappear' either through theft or people taking them home to do 'work 
from home' or whatever.  Makes annual inventory a huge pain.
