NetChat
-
Version
1.7
NetChat is a peer-to-peer local network instant
messaging and communications system for Windows which
does not require a server to be running for use. It
allows you to chat in real-time with other users on a
secure and private local network connection.
* NetChat may be used as an electronic office in/out
board
See when other users are in the office and
available.
Helps keep track of employees in a small office.
* True Peer-to-Peer
With NetChat, you do not need a dedicated server
computer or software to communicate. NetChat
operates
completely in a peer-to-peer mode, allowing efficient
communication directly between users on a network.
There is no server, so each message goes directly
from
sender to receiver, without having to be routed
through a central computer on the network.
* No Direct Internet Connection Required
NetChat works completely on a local Ethernet network
using the TCP/IP protocol. However, it does not need
a connection to the Internet. If you do have an
Internet connection, NetChat works on your local
subnet, so it will not be accessible from the outside
world.
* Easy to Use
Getting started with NetChat is very easy - just
install the software on two or more computers on the
same local network and you may begin chatting in real-
time with other users.
* Network requirements
NetChat uses the TCP/IP protocol and works with fixed
or dynamic IP addresses on an Ethernet network. Any
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP PC with a network card and
configured for a local network will be able to run
this software. Each computer will be identified to
others based on a custom user name from the IP
address
of each computer. Since no two computers can have
identical IP addresses on a network (or subnet), each
client is assured to be unique. NetChat can work
with
network PCs which have fixed (static) or dynamically
assigned IP addresses.
