Hi Mihamina,

The example code from the tutorial should run fine with OpenJDK. It is a 
simple client and server program exchanging Knock Knock jokes over 
legacy java.net.Sockets.

Are you experiencing a specific problem with this example code? Are you 
running a firewall? I notice that the server code is binding to specific 
port. You may need to allow access to accept connections on that port.

If you are having specific problems in the networking area then we 
should continue this thread on net-dev at openjdk.java.net.

-Chris.
