hi,
You can use the Client/Server architecture for creating the chat server and cliet applications.
USe the Socket programming.Create a Server Socket for the chat server application, which will accept the client connections. Client will connectn ot the server using the sockets.

Hope you are clear, if not please feel free to contact me at keelypavan@hotmail.com
