[REBOL] Re: [TCP] [Ports] Connecting Two Computers
From: ammon::johnson::gmail::com at: 3-Oct-2004 16:39
Actually, that is normal. You're both on private subnets and behind
routers/firewalls. You need to make sure that the port that you are
trying to connect on is open on both firewalls and routed to the
proper machines. You also need to be connecting to the internet
address (i.e. router address) for the machines and not the local
address for the machines (i.e. 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.0.101) If
you don't know the internet address for the machines then the first
thing to do is to figure out what it is which can be done by simply
visiting www.ipaddress.com from the machine you are trying to connect
to. Once you know the internet address for the machines then just try
connecting to the other machine via its internet IP Address. If that
doesn't work then the machine you are attempting to connect to is
behind a firewall and you will need to figure out how to get the the
port that you are trying to connect on opened up and forwarded to the
machine.
