Chat Without Server?

[Suwarno]

To All VB-Master
----------------

I have ever make a chatting program with VB by using winsock. It's something
like Client/Server program. the Client must connect to server before sending
message to other client.

my question is :
----------------
can VB make a chatting program without connecting to server? is it possible
with VB?

In TCP/IP (winsock) for a connection, there is always a server. It may be just your application listening on someone else machine
but it is still a server.

As dean said, it doesn't do without a server, its just that one of 2 pcs
that is in the chat acts as a server - all a server is is the PC that
listens for the connection. The client is the PC that looks for the
connection.
