how to use Named pipe in Client server application

[singh_nav]

Hi, i am new to use the PIPE and client server application. I have been able to communicate the IPC for processes that are on the same computer using named pipe. But i am clueless, how to obtain it for the communication between two different computer OR client - server application. If any example or link is available, please provide. Thanks ND

The only difference is the pipe name. The client needs to connect to a pipe name with the server name included: \\servername\pipe\pipename
