However, the only problem is how the players communicate their IP addresses because everytime someone logs onto the internet, their IP address may change. I tried the email feature but that does not work all the time because some users have hotmail accounts. Deliverables: The methods that can be used to communicate the IP addresses of the people playing the games so they can connect to each other. Platform: Windows 2000, Windows 98, Windows XP Special Conditions / Other: Should be completed within 1 day after accepting the bid.

A small program will be return. When user connects, program will detect the connection to internet then send 'i'm connected' message and it's ip to a 'local' server like thing (this can be discussed in further details) so this is the quick solution. after he again reconnects after some period, same thing will be done again. If needed , i can write this small connection programer, with giving another bid. Hüseyin Uslu           See 15 private reply(ies) to/from Hüseyin Uslu.
