Refreshing JTable remotely or in another computer

Question

I have search the forums but i could not find the appropriate answer for my problem.
I created a jtable with two buttons to add and delete row. This jtable and the mysql table which is the source of the data in the jtable, can be accessed by any computer on which the java program activating it, is installed. So it is possible that there could be several instances of the jtable running at the same time.
On the computer where the add or delete button is activated, the mysql table and the jtable is updated/refreshed accordingly. There is no problem at all.
However in the other computers where the instances of the jtable is running, the jtable is not refreshed at all. I can only refresh the jtable if I exit and restart the program.
How can i refresh all the instances of the jtable everytime its contents are changed by any one of the computers running it?
I have experimented using table.repaint, table.setUI, model.repaint to no avail.
I wonder if I have to use RMI for this. Any help is very much appreciated as I have been wrestling with this problem for sometime.

This solution by camickr works! My only problem is that it will not activate the cellrenderers and the methods to customize the columns. Thank you camickr. I hope you can help me with the cellrenderers.
These cellrenderers work well with the original table.
Here is the code:
JButton Button_Refresh1 = new JButton("Refresh");
Button_Refresh1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Object skedData[][] = getSchedule(); //returns data from database;
DefaultTableModel updtskedModel = new DefaultTableModel() {
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int column) {
if (column == 1) {
return false;
} else {
return true;
public Class getColumnClass(int c) {
return getValueAt(0, c).getClass();
updtskedModel.addColumn("Date");
updtskedModel.addColumn("Patient Name");
updtskedModel.addColumn("Status");
updtskedModel.addColumn("PatientNo");
updtskedModel.addColumn("SeqNo");
for (int i = 0; i < skedData.length; i++) {
if (skedData[0] != null) {
updtskedModel.addRow(new Object[]{skedData[i][1], skedData[i][2], skedData[i][3], skedData[i][0], skedData[i][4]});
TableColumn col1 = skedTable.getColumn("Date");
TableColumn col2 = skedTable.getColumn("Patient Name");
TableColumn col3 = skedTable.getColumn("Status");
TableColumn col4 = skedTable.getColumn("SeqNo");
col1.setPreferredWidth(75); //this does not work
col1.setCellRenderer(new DateRenderer()); // this one does not work and there are no error messages also.
col2.setPreferredWidth(100); //this does not work
col3.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(StatusBox)); //this one does not work and there are no error messages also
skedTable.setModel(updtskedModel);
//elsewhere in the code, the following class was defined.
static class DateRenderer extends DefaultTableCellRenderer {
public DateRenderer() { super(); }
public void setValue(Object value) {
setText((value == null) ? "" : regdf.format(value)); //regdf is defined elsewhere using SimpleDateFormat.
