Applet to Applet socketeering
Hi,
I'm almost totally new to networking programming so I have a really simple question to ask: How can I have an applet running in a browser on one computer open a socket to another instance of that applet running on another computer?
I guess I just need a tutorial or example or something. I'm fairly proficient with Java so don't worry about dumbing down the syntax. I already went through the Sun tutorial that teaches you how to download yahoo.com/index.html if that's any help.
Thanks
Neal

Not directly no.

yes.
You have to have the server act as an intermediary.

Okay well I know next to nothing about servers.
I have a subdomain on my brother's site that supports ftp. I believe it's hosted by these guys: http://www.1asphost.com/
It seems like the easiest thing is to run a Java program on the server that orchestrates everything.
Is my subdomain enough or do I need to look for something else? Also, how do I get the server to execute it?
