im trying to connect to an internal Computer though a router remotely with winsock. The cod ei have works fine within the LAN, but imm trying to connect to it form the outside.

I have set up the Router to set port 80 with the internal ip address of the maching i wish to connect to.

im then useing

mdiMain.winsocks.RemoteHost = "999.999.999.999/80"

(First 4 sets of digits changed for obvious security reasons posting them on the web.)

But i have no joy. Im new tro useing winsocks and prt forwarding (tunneling) so im not 100% sure i ahve everythign set up right.

Any ideas? can anyone run though a check list of things i should have done to set this up?
