Hi Shamail It is very much possible to have a direct connection between two computers over the internet. In fact, the fact that is over the internet plays little role (unless there are firewalls/IP masquerading taking place).
Find any tutorial on socket programming (in C/C++/perl/Java) and then you can make one of the two end-nodes (computers) as the server (the other node can initiate the connection to the server). What is required though is that your packets reach the other side, i.e., when you establish a connection to the other computer, you need to know the IP address and the in-between network (internet) should allow packets to reach the other side. Hope this helps Sharad Birmiwal On 12/27/07, Shamail Tayyab <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hiiii > Is it possible to have a direct connection between two computers over the > internet, without involvement of a central server (where both the systems > are part of different networks) > > > > -- > Shamail Tayyab > shamail [at] inbox.com > 4 2 3 2 4 9 9 9 9 9 - 1 9 + (right to left without spaces) > <<Bringing Linux and Mobiles one step closer>> > Blog at: http://tuxatwork.blogspot.com > _______________________________________________ > ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org > http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd > Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 > Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi > http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/ > _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Next Event: http://freed.in - February 22/23, 2008 Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
