Thread: wifi network programming

Hi,

I want to implement a c/c++ program that allows communication between two pcs through their wifi cards. The way I am thinking of is having the same program running on the two pcs (or have some kind of client-server architecture).

- The data are simply text.
- Preferably C but C++ can also do. I am using gcc/g++ compiler.
- I would like communication between
a) linux - linux
b) linux - windows (xp, 98)
c) windows - windows (xp, 98)

Now, by my questions you probably have figured out I have no clue about network programming... Some startup tips/links would ne mostly appreciated... An important thing is comm between linux-linux, linux-win.

Cheers.
