The USB connection isn't going to help (unless your phone is seen as a
network interface from the host computer, like the Motorola Milestone).
In general, cellular operators block ports and / or put your phone
behind a NAT, which greatly complicates things.
One possibility is to use WiFi - if the phone and the computer connect
to the same router, they'll end on the same subnet, and will be able to
exchange TCP/IP traffic through that router, without "going outside".
Another possibility is to put a server "in the middle" - put it on the
global Internet, so it's accessible from both the phone and the
computer, and have it forward data between those two.
One specific, already defined and widely used, protocol for this is
XMPP. There are client libraries for Android that you can leverage:

Sounds like a firewall issue.

Hi everybody,
I am working on an application which communicates with different
machines (Linux) via sockets.
My problem is the following:
I want to be able to connect from my phone (which is connected via
USB) to the development machine. With the emulator, I just use the IP
of the machine and it works. But when I am using an actual devices I
can't connect to the machine, since the mobile is not in the same
network.
How do you solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Cheers,
David
