Then the client is likely trying to connect to the server using the
wrong IP/Port.  Is the server running on the machine that is
physically connected to the Internet modem?  Or is the server running
on a machine that is getting its Internet connection through a
router/proxy?  What does your TIdTCPServer setup look like?  How are
you configuring its Bindings collection exactly?

Indy has its own global GStack.LocalAddresses list that contains the
available IP adresses of the machine.  If the server machine is
physicaly connected to the modem, then are you specifying the modem's
public IP as the listening IP on the server?

Yes, it can.  Especially if it is on the same machine.  If it is not
connecting, then either the server is not actually listening in the
first place, or the client is connecting to the wrong IP/Port.
