You should use an IP address that belongs to a local network interface on that machine that will be listening. The client will also use this IP if it is on the same network. Any port can be used as long as it is open and reachable.

okay, i was able to make both client, and servr programs. no errors so far...
but i'm kind of lost on the connecting part. the person who has the "server" would be the one i will be watching?
also. how do i find out my network ip? and what port is open? do i need to fill out a port 2?

It would be possible to re-design this to reverse the roles of the client/server.
You can find out your LAN IP with the ipconfig command.
All ports are open by default unless you have firewall software running.
If you are doing this over TCP/UDP then yes you will need to specify both sets of ports.

I think you can do both things through one connection, there is no need for two of them i think !
