Hi, I hope many of you know about IPMessenger, which is a small utility which allow peer to peer messaging in a network. When you launch the application it will add your login name and machine name as an identifier. When other user belongs to the same network laucnches the application he will also get his info as well as the information of others who have launched the app. How is this done. I want to know how to know who are the others using this app and get their information. Just out of curiousity asking.

I haven't looked at IPMessenger but the ideas behind are quite simple. For a peer to peer network program on an Intranet one of the best things to do is send out a UDP broadcast message. Other computers on the same subnet could then reply and peer to peer links can be created between each instance of the program. Other than that, a server needs to be used somewhere along the line (but then it wouldn't be true peer to peer). I advise reading a good book on TCP/IP. It might be also worth investigating TCP/IP multicasting to form a node tree. :wtf:

I think there is good one called Bopup Messenger at http://www.blabsoft.com/ it does not require any centralized server for queuing messages. Keep in mind that these apps may be using simply UDP servers so it is not a sure thing that messages will be delievered (no major dramas though). You can look into .NET or Java as these frameworks expose good libraries for doing such things. cheers, ES
