Java Connecting 2 Computers with Server-Client System

Question

I would like to ask a question about server-client applications using a ServerSocket in Java. It is going to be a long question, but if somebody can help me in this big homework of mine, I would really appreciate it. :)

Some time ago, I wrote a program using Netbeans which connects the 2 or more JFrame clients to the server JFrame, and allows all these windows to communicate with each other by sending text to the server. This is a brief example of how it works.

I run the server application, server opens. I run the client application, more than once, lets just say 3 and A , B , C are these different frames which run totally independent from each other. For example the user at C frame sends a text to talk with other frames. Text goes from C To Server , then Server sends the same text to A , B and C ; and this message is visible from the users' frames.

THE QUESTION IS, I am kinda rookie in this Networking and I did this in Only ONE Computer. But as expected, I must be able to do this in several computers. But I don't know how to do it.

• Will it work when I write the client IPs?
• Do i have to change some settings at my computers to make this happen?

Any help is really appreciated, thank you all. :)

只要计算机位于同一局域网中，并且您连接到服务器的相应IP，它就可以正常工作。
