Socket's won't work remotely.

[tophat]

I believe that my IP's are private IP addresses. My server does not have two NICs. Both computers on the Local Network share the same IP address. Even if I have both the client and server program running on the same machine, it still doesn't work. Here is the exact output on both the server and client when I use my IP address (both client and server on the same machine):

Client:

Welcome

Commands:

 c - Connect to computer
 l - List commands
 e - Exit Program

Command: c
Enter user's IP Address: 68.60.14X.XX
Enter port # to connect to: 6980
Connected to 68.60.14X.XX:6980
Socket initialized
Connect failed, error: 10060
Command:

10060 is a timeout error

Here is the server output:

Socket intialized...
Socket unbound...
Bind works...
Listen works...
Waiting for client...
Last error... (0)

And it just stays at that. When I try doing it with two separate computers on the same network sharing the same IP address, I get a 10061 error, connection forcefully rejected.

once again, I am trying to get this to work very much like a webserver where anyone can connect from a computer NOT on the local network and access information.
