Connecting out to the Internet using Sockets

Question

Hi,
My project is an Internet Connection Sharing project where a no of clients try to access the Internet through a single connection (d main server). I've got a basic Java Browser that simply sends on the URL address ("www.java.sun.com") typed into a textfield by the user to a Server when a button is clicked. This is done thru basic read & write methods using an ObjectInput & ObjectOutputStreams. I've also created a socket connection out to the Internet by passing in the URL on port 80, thus establishing a connection... here's the code:
inet_SockCon = new Socket( InetAddress.getByName( str_Buffer ), 80 );
System.out.println( "Connected to: " +
inet_SockCon.getInetAddress().getHostName() );
The next step is trying to get the URL page requested back to the server and from there to the client browser where it will be displayed. I'm using a JEditorPane() on my Browser which formats the HTML data. If anyone has any ideas as to how i can do this it would be gratefully appreciated.
Thank you.
