Hi all,
I would like to ask that is it possible to communicate other machines available on the network other than server using "applets". Since in applets, Java doesn't allow communication other than server. Is it possible using anykind of security permission. If not then are all the chatting applets made in Java, doesn't use peer to peer communication?
Thanx in advance
bye

Most (if not all) chat applets use a server program to facilitate communication among all the applet chat clients... You would have to sign your applet, or do other things to make your applet secure and able to do this... On the other hand, I think that you could do peer-to-peer stuff (relatively) easily in an application instead of an applet...
