i forget which logic Prashanth said you needed to replace, but if you aren't familiar, i can explain what networkhandlers are and how they relate to socketservers:

The two files you'll want to look at it are:
Socket Server: https://github.com/tecnogram888/Project4Skeleton/blob/master/src/edu/berkeley/cs162/SocketServer.java
NetworkHandler: https://github.com/tecnogram888/Project4Skeleton/blob/master/src/edu/berkeley/cs162/NetworkHandler.java

SocketServer (as per the description), is: a generic class that should handle all TCP network connections arriving on a given unique (host, port) tuple. Ensure that this class remains generic by providing the connection handling logic in a NetworkHandler.

so SocketServer has a method addHandler(NetworkHandler handler) that you should call once you've instantiated a NetworkHandler

a NetworkHandler is very simple, it has one method, handle(Socket client), and basically just runs some logic every time a client connects to a SocketServer. for our purposes, we are pretty much just going to write the client's stream for a message and then do something based on what kind of message was given.

kk, but how do you write a NetworkHandler? Since you're already writing one for RegisterServer, I figured it wouldn't be too hard for you to provide a skeleton for us on clientServer's networkHandler

[ricefield]

not sure. can you tell me what the logic is (or where to find it) and ill look into it? havent yet written the clientServer's networkHandler though...

code up your Part 3 and push into the GitHub, I can point out/explain tomorrow in person
