OK, i wrote a client/server program in vb6. Actually, just the server part. I'm using a web browser to connect to the server and display the interface of the program through a web page. In other words, its a simple web server.

Anyway, when i go to "http://192.168.x.xx:7777/" in the web browser, it connects just fine. Problem is thats my internal IP, and it wont work from any other computer outside my LAN.

So i go to whatismyip and find out my external (internet) IP is 67.85.xxx.xx. I figure if i type that in the browser the same way i did my internal IP it'll connect to my app.


DOESNT WORK!!! =/ Any thoughts as to why this is??
