How can I run server and client applications in two different computers?

Hi,
I found some example code about server and client applications. But I
can not run server and client in different computers. Now, I only
run them in the different windows in Linux. I hope to I can log on a
computer that run server application from a different computer. How
can I modify those codes?

Thanks,
