Applet Network problems(need help!!!!!!)

[barusk]

This might be a little confusing, but here goes. I have developed an applet that writes a packet to a wifi using a dlink. Which i connect using sockets. Now i embedded this applet in html, and it worked fine. Then i started a web server to which other clients could sign in using a vpn. Then when the client trys to run my applet from their comp, it doesnt give any errors it just doesn't do anything. I have checked what packets are being sent over the vpn with wireshark and it says they send fine. What i think is the packets are sent to my comp but doesn't know what to do with them. It should take the packets then send them over the dlink to the wifi, but the packet never reach the dlink. My interenet connection is a normal dsl. Any! ideas are accepted and hoped for. Has to be some1 out there that knows what i going through.
Much Thanks in Advance,
barusk

Applet, TCP/IP--AFAIK, an applet can only communicate using a socket with the server it came from. So the applet connects back to your server. On what port? What is listening on that port? What does it do when it gets a connection?

Draw a picture of what you are trying to accomplish. DSL, wireless, Web server, clients... That doesn't make much sense.

I think what Steve is saying, and from what i can see from your original post, you might be using an IP Address in your client such as 127.0.0.1 or a hostname of localhost in your applet which wont work on another computer. Can you share with us your code?

well steve kinda helped me figure this out. i ended up havin an ip that was unreachable outside the network. so i have now added the wifi unit to my network using a router and everythings works wonderfully. thanks to all
