Look at the Ultima.dll source for reading files for specific IDs.
Read up on DirectX.
Look at the RunUO source for packets; a servers both read and write packets, so you can see how it works on both ends. I've seen several applications in which the network code is EXACTLY the same in both the client and the server.
