You may consider creating a simple program for facilitating communication. Most crude approach would be to try and modify the programs from the Networking lab-file (I hope you still have the soft copy ;) . to get a more robust application. Slightly easier, way is to use the Qt API as I had successfully implemented something similar in no time. Simplest method, in my perspective is to use pyNet. But would require you to first get accustomed with Python. I believe, its high time that you got your hands dirty with code :) And that, this is what the instructor expects. > I know to use talk command but the error comes checking for caller > invitation,whereas no such invitation in found in d called user.. Did you check the firewall settings on Fedora. While development I had faced a similar issue, my client and server were not able to connect to each other. Disabling firewall (which is a very bad approach) solved the issue temporarily. If you intend to go deeper you may try to add the talk program as an exception.
