Elvind -

Congratulations....

The good news is that you have gotten Bonjour to do pretty much everything it is suppossed to do. Bonjour is JUST for discovering the IP addresses of other services you may want to connect to.

The bad news is that Bonjour has nothing to do with what you do once you have discovered the IP addresses you care about.

Actually communicating between client and server is usually done with sockets programming. If you google "socket programming example" - you will get PLENTY of examples of how to do this.....

Here are two that looked interesting at first glance:

You also may want to look around for Cocoa examples........

Hi,

I'm pretty new to cocoa and have a question about my first bonjour application.

The program should be able to recieve and send strings with the the same app on different machines on the same LAN. I guess you could say that my app it's just a simple instant messenger on the local area network.

I have been able to start a new service, and find the other services. From this I get the IP-addresses to the machines I want to communicate with.

Now I wonder, what is the best way to initiate communation in this scenario? I only need to send simple strings to the other apps (but I guess it would be better to use whole objects). Is there some function build into Bonjour that enables you to do this, or do I have to connect the apps to each other manually?

Do you know of any source code out there that could help me?

I'm grateful for any help!
