The server is on the machine that is physically connected to the internet modem.  The code to connect is:

    int Port;
    Port = Edit1->Text.ToInt();
    TCPServer->DefaultPort = Port;
    TIdSocketHandle *LclSocketHandle;
    LclSocketHandle = TCPServer->Bindings->Add();
    LclSocketHandle->IP = JvIPAddress1->Text;
    TCPServer->Active = true;

JVIPAddress is simply an edit that the JEDI project provides for internet addresses.  The rest is Indy stuff.

This may be the part I'm not doing correctly - it seems possible that I do not know how to obtain my public IP address.  I am going to a DOS prompt, typing IPCONFIG and using the address that comes back.  You mention that Indy has a global stack of address.  I will start looking at that some and see if I can figure out how to obtain the address I want.

There server is certainly listening.  As mentioned, I run the client on the same machine and it works perfectly.  Only when I have the client run from a machine at work does it fail.  The machine at work can ping me, so it *seems* to me that the address I provide is my public address.
