Server IP is public.
Client is behind a firewall (and proxy).
TIdTCPServer-->Firewall A-->Public IP .......internet......Public
IP<----Proxy and firewall B<-------TIdTCPClient machine in a local
(192.168.*) network
To test it, I used firewall A on the server to trace all connection requests
and I can see on the server that TCPClient tried to establish connection.
Firewall A let the
request through (I opened the port).
So here is the scenario:
In the morning, I start my home comp with TCPServer and public IP.
I go to work, launch the TIdTCPClient and try to connect to the
server--->Times out.
