The Java IP server

Using the Java IP server

The Java IP server is helpful when you don't know the other user's IP address. It works kind of like ICQ, where you can connect to you favorite friend. Here's how it works:

 

Installing the Java IP server

If you want to install the BeNet Java Server you must follow these steps :

You must get JRE (Java Runtime Environnement) from Sun microsystems

From the command prompt of JRE, type:

java ServerIPAddress

The default command (as above) is similar to :

java -DTIMEOUT=60000 -DPORT=3030 -DCONNECTION=256 ServerIPAddress

You can costomize the command for your own needs :

DTIMEOUT This set the time that the server will wait when connected to an idle connection without response
DPORT This tell the server the port to wait on
DCONNECTION This tell BeNet Java Server the number of connections to accept in a simultanous way
