  The 2003 101 Samples from Microsoft includes a client/server chat application as an example of using sockets.

  Hi,

  you can connect two PC as client-server or as peer-to-peer using any language as C++ and C#.

  i can help you in C#.

   you can use one computer to begin connection and the other listen the connection.

  use this classes and create objects as follows:

  BinaryReader    reader;

  BinaryWriter    writer;

  Socket    connection;

  NetworkStream    socketStream;

  Thread    readThread;

  you must call the function as thread in the default constructor as follows:

  readThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(FunctionName));

  readThread.Start();

  use TcpListener class and create an object to listen to connection as follows:

  TcpListener listener;

  listener = new TcpListener(5000);     ///5000 the port number you can use any other port number

  to begin listening to connection:

  listener.Start();

  then write this code to accept connection:

  while(true)

  {

  connection = listener.AcceptSocket();

  socketStream = new NetworkStream(connection);

  writer = new BinaryWriter(socketStream);

  reader = new BinaryReader(socketStream);

  string Reply = "";

  do {

  try{

  Reply = reader.ReadString();

  }

  catch(Exception)

  {

  break;

  }

  }while(Reply!="Terminate"&&connection.Connected)

  writer.Close();

  reader.Close();

  socketStream.Close();

  connection.Close();

  }

  waiting connection as follows:

  TcpClient client;

  client = new TcpClient();

  client.Connect("localhost",5000);  //5000 the port number, replace localhost by IP address for the other computer

  socketStream = client.GetStream();

  writer = new BinaryWriter(socketStream);

  reader = new BinaryReader(socketStream);

  do{

  try{

  string message = reader.ReadString();  //contain the message from the other peer;

  }

  catch()

  {}

  }while(message!="Terminate");

  writer.Close();

  reader.Close();

  socketStream.Close();

  client.Close();
