I have a ghetto instant messenger that seems to connect fine on localhost, but it can't connect in LAN or the actual internet.

During LAN, it connects, then exits so then I assume that it did not connect and in the internet, the server doesn't even receive a signal from the client.

Does anyone know why? Do I have to connect to a VPN or port forward anything?

Edit: Uploaded for testing.

Well, have you tried forwarding the port in your router (assuming you have a router).

I haven't, but I'm going to [right now]. Any idea as to why it doesn't even working within the LAN?

Try setting the host to 127.0.0.1 and see if you can run both server and client and connect. If you can't then it's probably a programming error, else it's a connection error.

Make sure you are using the right Lan IP, ex. Mine is:
192.168.1.100
and my sisters is
192.168.1.97

and dont use 127.0.0.1

/\ This is the error i made, when i tried and failed...

Intra-lan connections do not require port forwarding.

Can a computer in WLAN connect with one in LAN?

Theoretically there can be special rules for WLAN, but usually WLAN should get the same treatment. What kind of router do you have?
