Good morning everybody,
Does that need to install a function server on a computer for using it for peer to peer connection ?
Thanks everybody.

What do you mean with "function server"?
What do you want to do with your P2P connection?

Good morning Kees,
Function server : to transform my computer in server.
I only want to know how to do to communicate between two computers with P2P.
Thank you.
You need to use the same program as the peer computer, or you can't communicate. It's like any language: if one talks English and the other Chinese, they won't understand each other.
But in P2P you don't talk about clients and servers. The peers are equal; that's what 'peer' means. So you don't need a server.
The usual usage of P2P is to download copyrighted material like movies and mp3's. Using P2P, however, means that you're not only downloading, but uploading also. You send stuff you downloaded to other peers. And that's illegal. So better not do it.

What's programs ?

Good morning Kees,
You write " to use the same program as the peer computer ". The program is : Windows ( 7, Vista, XP ), or Mac OS X ( Snow Leopard or other ) or Linux distribution ? Or you talk of other programs ?
I don't know the difference between " downloading " and " uploading ".
I don't want to send illegally works of art.
Thanks Kees.

Not the OS. The P2P program, like the ones shown in

Downloading is from another computers to yours. Uploading is from your PC to someone else.
Kees
Thank you.
