The VB6 COM wrappers for old versions of DirectX are not supported MS products so you should check with the place you got them from. This thread has some guesses to their original and places for support.

Remember also that DirectPlay is no longer recommended see http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=69462 and winsock is the way to go however you need to find another forum for winsock questions. I don't think MS has a forum for VB6 so you will need to use the newsgroups, or other forums or upgrade to VS Express - its free! - and then use the .Net forums.
