[quote]Sorry if this is offtopic, of the offtopic haha but I still cant seem to get the networking to work over the internet… How can I test if the Server is running off my static IP for sure and not local (192. blah blah) and how can I make sure that the client is sending to my static IP?

when you work over the net you dont use your internal static ip use the url as something like this…http://86.20.236.211/…:(port number)
when your server program is running all it can see is its own internal ip and your computer should open the ports you want to use automatically.
the clients connect to the external ip of the router assuming your behind a firwalled router…you tell the router that the server is behind that any traffic from the internet that wants to connect to say port 35467 is to be forwarded to the internal ip of the machine thats running the server.
this thread kinda got hijacked…
I jack your attention span.
