You will need to implement client-server-client communication.

You will need:
1. Synchronous communication;
2. Asynchronous communication - invoke methods on the server without
response. You would use this to post chat messages;
3. Client callback - send messages from server to the clients. This would allow you to distribute a new message to all clients in a chat session.

Take a look at http://www.accendia.com . We are providing the ideal networking framework for chat applications (but not only) and it's free.
