When to Concider PPC server

[sakanabar]

How do I know that I need to implement servers on PPC.
I have seen examples of using servers... http://www.devbuzz.com/content/zinc_evb_tictactoe_pg1.asp

I am using eVb and want to connect two iPAQs Peer to Peer (Adhoc Mode)
to exchange files. Do I need to use servers - (WinSoc)

Any comments would be helpful, even if you are trouble shooting regarding this problem, or created an application something similar to this one. Thank you.

In a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, you probably want to have listening threads (servers) in all peers.

Thinking of the servers as "listening threads" might help you decide whether to use them in your apps.

Since you are working with a P2P network, you will probably want a P2P app also. In a P2P application, there is usually not one specific server; instead, all versions of the app normally listen for requests and send requests.

Whenever you are working with SOCKS, you will need at least one listener and one sender.

Hope this helps.
