I do this. I have a text box where I can manually type in the 
address, "123.45.67.89:6111". The SocketServer program is 
running on 192.168.1.17 and listening on the same port. It 
works on the LAN, so I know the server program is listening 
correctly. 

>What kind of server socket component are you using (if any)?

I am using the TServerSocket Component from Borland's C++ 
Builder 6. And on the client side I am using TClientSocket. 

>How are you binding it when starting to listen for 
connections?

I really don't understand what you mean by "binding it". I do 
know that with the TServerSocket Component, when I 
set "ServerSocket1->Active = true;" the Socket begins to 
listen on its specified port at that moment. All I do then 
with my Client Application is Set 
ClientSocket1->Host = "123.45.67.89:6111"(or "192.168.1.17" on 
the LAN, which works) then,

ClientSocket1->Port = 6111;
ClientSocket1->Active = true; 
ClientSocket1->Socket->Connect(0);

(The above works on the LAN as well)
