I am just starting off here...

I have UseAuthentication = False until I get a better handle on this.

I am sending data over to my server like this:

Tcp1.Connect(IPAddress, port)
If Tcp1.Stream.CanWrite And Tcp1.Stream.CanRead Then

Dim sendbuffer() As Byte = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(fullXMLString)

Tcp1.Send(sendbuffer)

If waitForResponse Then
'Keep receiving until the connection is closed
Do While (Tcp1.Connected)
  Dim seg As Segment = Tcp1.Receive()
  CurrentResponseString += seg.ToString()
Loop
    
So my data goes over to the server and sends my requested data back. Is my data going over to the server encrypted? I have another developer in another state that is working on the RPG Server Side programming and has set that to receive SSL data over but I have a feeling that it isn't being encrypted at all.

If you haven't set the SecureProtocol property on the TCP control then you are right, the connection is not encrypted. However this also means that the server you are connecting to isn't requiring an SSL connection or you wouldn't be able to connect.

   You can try setting the SecureProtocol to Auto to attempt to negotiate the SecureProtocol to use but if the server doesn't require an SSL connection then it will negotiate None, which is the default.

I have set the SecureProtocol to auto.

I did try sending him a request over the old way using a regular tcp client I would get three squares back. So it lead me to believe that he has code on his side.
