Sockets Behind The Wall

[Scott Rossi]

I'm trying to establish socket connections behind a router with firewall.
(I'm using the little chat demo that Tuviah put together some time ago.)  I
assumed I only needed the local (router assigned) addresses of each machine,
but either this is wrong or I'm doing something else wrong.

The demo works with both the server and client stacks on the same machine,
but when I move the client to another networked machine and point it at the
local address of the server stack's machine, nothing seems to happen.  Ports
are the same, and both machines can see each other on the network.  Opening
the socket returns empty as if it succeeded and the socket is listed in the
openSockets, but no message is returned from the socket upon opening.

Can some kind soul enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks & Regards,
