[RESOLVED] [2008] server/client TCP, help!

[masfenix]

hey guys,
Alright so I went to the codebank and used the basic TCP communication.

It dosnt work . WHen I click listen on my computer and then go up to my laptop which is connected to a DIFFERENT NETWORK ( i am stealing my neighbours wireless hehe) it dosnt connect.

The error message says:

A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 74.12.133.107:664

My understanding is that IT DOES CONNECT but my server has problems. Anyway read on to what I think might be causing a problem.

I think the problem might lie here:

listener = New System.Net.Sockets.TcpListener(System.Net.IPAddress.Any, CInt(txtPort.Text)) 'The TcpListener will listen for incoming connections at port 43001

MSDN Says

Create a TcpListener using an IPEndPoint, a Local IP address and port number, or just a port number. Specify Any for the local IP address

But none of this is local. Its over the internet.

Secondaly I think you guys should know this, ( i dont know if all the modems do this)

but my highspeed modem gives me a "local" IP. when i do ipconfig it gives me a 192.168.2.1. When I plug this in in to IE, i get a web based modem configuration thing which shows my REAL IP.

could that be a problem?
