Hi again,

I checked your source code. It is running fine. I fixed some minor compilation errors and i guess they were because fo copy/paste to the forum. But in case you need it, i am pasting it to here again:

As far as i see it is working fine. For sockets, you will need to create a thread and will listen for connections with the help of that thread. If you try to listen in Swing event thread, then that can make your GUI freeze. You can create that thread after you pressed any button in your GUI or before GUI is created. It all depends on your requirements.

Let us know if you need further help..
