Tremendous amount of research work is underway on peer to peer Systems and Video Streaming. In result, nowadays a lot of technologies and protocols are being developed to facilitate the developers to develop such type of applications at rapid pace. Most of these applications are desktop-based; only the desktop users can view regular contents and make conversation. The software we have developed is a LAN-based using client/server and Peer to peer architecture for transmitting and receiving multimedia contents. Such types of software already exist in the market, lacking the feature of portability and in result clients are bound to use Microsoft platform. Our paper expose this problem; LAN clients of this application can use any sort of platform, as they are based-Java also provides many other useful utilities for heterogeneous system such as voice and video Streaming and registry service and security issues are also considered. Totally work based on Java Technology environments, this project includes Custom Clients and Registry Server also persistency as well as database connectivity at backend. In particular in this work we have taken full advantage of Java's beauty by using Java Network Library and (JMF) Java Media Framework additional we have created lot of user define protocols to develop and facilitate developers to develop their own Multimedia based applications rapidly.
