Hi Folks

I'm trying to get this program to host using the internet, and not the LAN. I'd like to be able to edit the source code to easy switch between the two.

Any help would be useful.

TCP/IP is the same no matter if you are on the internet or a LAN - on the internet you need open ports somewhere though (on the LAN as well, but it's easier there)

What would I change to the code to make it host on the net? It already works okay on LAN as it is, I just need to test it on the internet.
