Hello, I have a little network at home and I want to make a P2P utility like limewire or Kazaa. But all I want to do is to make my users connect to each other on my network and share their files with out going to the internet. Can you giude me on where I can get the code for something like that, or if you know of some little program that does that, where can I get it.
Thanks

hi,
Take a Gnutella-Client (e.g. LimeWire/Bearshare) and disable the autoconnect function. There's always a Textbox to enter manually a server-address to connect to. Type in the network-name of another computer connected to this LAN. .... you're connected. From now on you can share or download files...

note that the gnutella-client has to be run on every machine!

in the following case you should be warn that if only one of a client connects outside, all your clients will be available from outside. For this reason you must find an client that can accept or refuse connections depending of ip address. I think there's a Gnucleus client that is able to do this
