I would like to ask a question about server-client applications using a ServerSocket in Java. It is going to be a long question, but if somebody can help me in this big homework of mine, I would really appreciate it. :)

Some time ago, I wrote a program using Netbeans which connects the 2 or more JFrame clients to the server JFrame, and allows all these windows to communicate with each other by sending text to the server. This is a brief example of how it works.

I run the server application, server opens. I run the client application, more than once, lets just say 3 and A, B, C are these different frames which run totally independent from each other. For example the user at C frame sends a text to talk with other frames. Text goes from C To Server, then Server sends the same text to A, B and C; and this message is visible from the users' frames.

THE QUESTION IS, I am kinda rookie in this Networking and I did this in Only ONE Computer. But as expected, I must be able to do this in several computers. But I don't know how to do it.

  • Will it work when I write the client IPs?
  • Do i have to change some settings at my computers to make this happen?

Any help is really appreciated, thank you all. :)

As long as the computers are on the same local area network, and you connect to the appropriate IP for the server, it should all work fine.
