Hello togheter

I would like to make a Local Area Network Chat. It should be accessible over the browser.

How can I make something like this? Do I need special things? Do you know some tutorials or an explanation how to setup a lan-chat?

Thank you

Look at this way: whatever works for WWW can work for LAN, not visa versa. So, if you can make a Web char, it will work for LAN immediately. This way, there is nothing special you should look a manual for.

From the other hand, LAN allows you to me way more free in instrumental facilities. HTTP is very limiting, so using custom protocol can makes your application way more powerful and feature-rich. The question is: do you need such features? do you need them so much that you can agree with the lack of compatibility with the Web? Anyway, if you want to go there, you should explain the goal of it. If this is "just chat", it may be not enough justification.

Hi,

Have a look here:
ASP.NET Ajax Chat Application[^]
Simple chat application for ASP.NET[^]
Build a Web Chat Application using ASP.Net 3.5, LINQ and AJAX (in C# 3.5 or VB 9.0)[^]

These chat applications use ASP.NET[^] and C#[^].
