If the port forwarding is setup properly and you're running the server then yes indeed!
My local IP address is 192.168.1.2.
The client program works fine with my local IP address and 127.0.0.1
It fails only when I want to connect using my extenal IP address. (i.e. 122.162.75.237 at present)

I wanted to give the client program to someone else whom I want to connect to my PC. Then give my external IP address over phone whenever he needs to connect to my PC (since it is a dynamic connection and IP address will change each time)
So I doubt if I'm not able to connect thru my external IP address, he won't be able to connect either.
