Challenging Problem, Solution Wanted!
-
Situation: There is one machine (host) to which number of other machines (subscribers) want to establish connection over Internet. None of the subscribers is under the same domain as host. The idea is that the subscribers could establish as much real-time communication link over Internet to the host, which can only relay on Internet connection. The communication would mostly involve text base exchange. Question: I would use some guidelines on how to construct a solution, Windows Sockets, RPC SDK, anything else please suggests. Is it possible? I would also appreciate any samples that you many know off. Thanks in advance.

Hi, You'd need a program which uses winsock to register on a certain port, then reads the requests from the clients, parses them, connects to the internet, creates new requests and sends them to the internet servers, gets back its data, removes the header data, sends back the data to the client programs. And then goes on listening on its port for the next client. Just an idea... :) Chris.
