I have a Server Socket Program and I have a Client Socket program. On my LAN these two programs work like a charm, but when I try to access my Server Socket from a computer outside of the Network(over the internet) I get an error: "Windows Socket Error: The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for (11004), on API 'ASync Lookup' " To let you know exactly what I am doing: I have a Network that has a public IP address, let's say, of 123.45.67.89... I have a router at that address that connects to our LAN. I run the ServerSocket program on a computer in the LAN at 192.168.1.17... On the router, which is the only firewall we are using, we use port forwarding to connect to the ServerSocket computer. Therefore the address of 123.45.67.89:6111 should connect me to 192.168.1.17 from outside of the LAN. This does, in fact, work for other programs like Ultra VNC, but not for my SocketServer program. I did some research on the error message I got and it mentioned something about a name server and/or a host table. I don't know how much that will help though. Any suggestions on how I can overcome this problem? Thanks, Chris
