In this project we have built a simple Client Server chat application with GUI. The chat process will involve at least two or more machines on a LAN. We can use this chat application on single machine also by opening two Netbean/CMD instances and running server program on one instance and client program on other instance. Basically it works on the concept of one Server program for listening to a particular port for messages and one Client program for sending the messages on a particular port of a particular IP(IP can be localhost or IP of other machine ).

The functionality of two programs are as follow:

Server Program:

• ·         This program listens to a particular port for incoming messages and shows them to users.
• ·         Client running on any Machine can connect to the this server program by giving  address(IP) and port of this system.
• ·         Receive the incoming messages and show them in server window to users.

Client Program:

• ·         Connect to the server machine by giving the IP and port of the server machine.
• ·         Send the message typed by the user to server machine .

  Software Used:

• ·         JDK1.6

Technology Used:

• ·         JFrames, Socket Programming, IO Package
