access outside lan test
Hi
I have a socket client server program in C
I have tested this program on LAN between 2 Pcs and it was working fine.
Now I am trying to test the program from out side "server on my LAN and client from internet"
I am using port 5000 so I set port forwarding on my ADSL router to forward requestes on port 5000 to the PC running the socket server application.
always I fail to connect to server from outside.
on the other hand I can't ping the network WAN address from out side
If ping from inside the LAN I get response and If I ping from out side the lan I get time out.
Finally If I run Appachi server , I can access the test website from outside!!!
So what should be the problem?
