    				if(clientSocket!=null){
    					try {
    						output.writeChars(tf.getText());
    						output.close();

    				else{
    						System.out.println("error");
    					}

    The posted code has compiler errors: definition of the variable: ip missing.

    Try compiling the code that was posted. It has compiler errors that need to be fixed.
