njman, Let's look at the problem from a technical perspective.
Have you tried pinging the IP address? The provider may disallow ICMP traffic, however you could call them up and request that they enable it for this IP address temporarily. They may say "no," but it's worth a shot at least. If you can't ping it, have you tried running a port scan against the IP address using a tool such as Nmap (http://nmap.org)? You can use the tool to scan a small port range, or a single port, rather than hammering all 65536 ports. Have you tried using an internal wifi network and ensuring that the server application works internally, before testing against the 3G cellular network? Hope these tips help push you in the right direction :) Cheers, Trevor Sullivan http://trevorsullivan.net http://twitter.com/pcgeek86 On Wednesday, 1 August 2012 12:17:59 UTC-5, njman wrote: > > I'm using ServerSocket() object to create a proxy server > on the phone itself. > > But I can't seem to connect to it. > > The phone is running 3g and has an ip address. > > i'm using port 1962.
