server client chat program

Can you please give me hints or can you teach me how can i convert my simple client server program(in which only client can send any number of messages it want to server) to chat server client program ? I am doing this by trivial way, but still only server is receving but not client whichever thing server is sending. I have done all these things with the help of socket programming and in C language. thanks if you can help me.

What does your design look like at the moment? (How are you handling multiple clients on the server? Threads, I/O multiplexing? You could apply the same solution on the client side to detect incoming messages and send things at "the same time" (not really ofcourse).
