Connecting to another PC in LAN via sockets in C#

So I'm trying to connect to another PC via TCP protocol using sockets, 192.168.1.72 is another PC's address, however, I'm not relly sure im going the right road. I have server also oon different computer, and theese two programs seem to work well on same computer, when in line with _clientSocket.Connect();, i use IPAdress.Loopback instead o host. Am I doint the right aproach, or should i look elsewhere, and if i am, how can i make this function work, because now it simply crashes and indicates there is something wrong with host declaration

    private static void LoopConnect()
    {
        IPAddress host = new IPAddress(Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("192.168.1.72"));


        int attempts = 0;

        while(!_clientSocket.Connected)
        {
            try
            {
                attempts++;
                _clientSocket.Connect(host, 100);
            }
            catch (SocketException)
            {
                Console.Clear();
                Console.WriteLine("Connection attempts: " + attempts.ToString());

            }
        }
        Console.Clear();
        Console.WriteLine("Connected");


    }

If you supply the IP adddress as a string, you need to use the static Parse method:

IPAddress host = IPAddress.Parse("192.168.1.72");
