Hi, I've got two programs (client and server) using sockets. The program are working fine if I set the client IP to local host (127.0.0.1) or the LAN IP (192.168.0.3), but can't connect if the IP is set to external Internet IP (92.24.xxx.xxx).
Anyone have an ideea, please?
Thanks!
Well, it sounds that something is wrong at least in one of these two programs.
And if you'd like to get some more useful help - post a bit more useful description about these programs and a problem you have...
One of the several code I've tried can by found here: http://johnnie.jerrata.com/winsocktutorial/ and the error I get is: "Call to gethostbyaddr()returned error11004!". I've tried to use the server with another client (and the other way around) and I've got the same problem... If I set the client on LAN IP or local IP Ican send and receive the message without any errors, but with external IP doesn't work. Even with firewall turned OFF. If I ping my external IP everything is fine....
And ... ??? :confused:
...and that means I can't connect to another computer... :(
Wrong settings on the router...
