            f.add(CharList, BorderLayout.EAST);
            System.out.println("Char: "+CharList.getItem(0));

    //method for ending the connection

        } catch(Exception ex) {
class Framex extends Frame {
    private Image image = null;
    public Framex() {
       super();
    public void drawImage(Image i) {
       image = i;
       repaint();
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
        if(image != null) {
             g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, this);
}The Server and Client are a work in progress but Other than that why won't the List show up immediately after
I add it to the Frame?

Don't mix AWT and Swing widgets. Fix that, then ask again, preferably in the Swing section.
