Need some help with Java Networking Program

[Takeya]

Hello everyone,

I am having trouble writing a networking program using java. Here is the basic setting up of the question.

There are two boxes.

Box 1 has the java app on it, and has an internal IP address (ie. 192.168.1.x).

Box 2 has two IP addresses:
Address 1: shares the same internal address of box 1 (192.168.1.x)
Address 2: routable IP address such as 9.26.69.x.

The program on box 1 needs be able to connect to box 2, and change network setting of box 2 (address 2, mask, gateway, etc)

I am really stuck with this problem, so hopefully someone can help me out.

Thanks in advance.

The first phase of writing a network program in Java would use the localhost IP address to make sure the classes and methods work as desired. Have you done that step yet?

Also, when you say change the network settings on box two, do you mean change settings in a java app or on the host OS?
