How do I connect this chat program to two computers?
===

So I have been modifying the chat program found here: http://www.dreamincode.net/forums/topic/259777-a-simple-chat-program-with-clientserver-gui-optional/ and I am at the point where I am ready to use it between twp pc's. 

The problem is, I do not know enough about server-client relationships to set it up. Is there anything missing in the code for this to work? I just want to link two laptops to chat with one another. Is there any server softare I need to run or something? 

I tried openfire but couldn't figure out how to link it, every port number I tried (listed in the admin page) didn't work. This is my first attempt at anything like this and probably beyond my current level of understanding which is why I would greatly appreciate a straightforward solution. 

I chose this becaue I needed to do a lot of customization to the code so please use the ones on the page above as a reference. I would post the code here but there are 5 classes and they are neatly displayed on that page already with a explanation of each.

Thanks in advance!
