Is it possible to send data from one machine to the other over the
Internet?

Yes. You might look into SCP (WinSCP client and ssh server on cygwin), VNC
(UltraVNC) or a FTP server.

Yes, although what you mean by "send data from one machine to the other"
will depict how you can achieve it. What is it you are trying to achieve?

1KB between PCs.
Cannot use any other IM client.

In that case you need to look into writing a small program. I suggest using
sockets. Have a look at Winsock on msdn. In particular look at:
WSAStartup(), socket(), gethostbyname(), bind(), connect(), listen() send(),
recv()
You will need to setup one end as a server and one end as a client, or if
you have the ability, set up one central server for all clients to then
connect to.

I have a simple P2P chat here:

Use it as you like.

How do I know my IP address? I am sure my internal LAN IP will not
work. Which IP address do I use?

If both machines are within the LAN then the LAN IP will suffice, if not,
and you are behind some sort of router then it is a little more complex...
You need to find your IP address which can be obtained from visiting certain
wesbites, including mine (http:://allanmb . redirectme . net) but you will
need to make sure that the ports are forwarded to the machine you intend.

How complex? :)
Some clues.
Thanks anyway. It does work with my internal IP.
Allan M. Bruce
It is not complex when it comes to the programming. As I said in my post,
you need to have some sort of packet forwarding or port forwarding which
will be up to the routing software you use...
