Hey there. I've got a problem with my TCP server... I used: CreateTCPServer(port) and I tested this on my friends computer: OpenTCPStream(IP of server computer,port) But the client can't find the server. Why??? Can anybody help me?

Without looking at any of your code (which isn't formatted/indented so I can't be bothered, tbh), in all probability you need to set up port forwarding on your router. Without that, its safe to assume that no TCP client/server code will work.

So i have to setup port forwarding (8080) ??

Thanks! I've tried to open port with port forward (port=8080) and it works now!! THANKKS!!!
