I have been using TCP. It works just fine when the person behind the
firewall initiates the chatting. That person has no problem opening a
connection. I then have the person outside the firewall try to open a
connection back and it just sits there. I am guessing that the
connection can't get opened because the other is behind the router.
What I think I need to do is get a better understanding on how the
settings work for ipnetrouter. I am the guy who set it up. I just do
not have much knowledge on how it all works. I have much to learn.
Now putting a server outside the firewall is probably going to be very
important to insure that all users can communicate no matter what their
situation is.
Thanks for the clear explanations.
