I have done a little more coding since I wrote the email, I got a
simple message client, hub and hub client (to receive the messages)
working. However, when I transfer the hubclient to a different machine
it doesnt pick up the messages. I presume I need to specify IP
addresses somewhere, but I have no idea where to start... any
pointers?? (the 2 machines are on the same subnet, but on a switch)
