working with the INdy client/sever socket componets
 

Hello my name is Steve, and I have been programming in Delphi for
several years, but never done anything with Sockets or anything using
Indy style components. so I am a complete novice from that point of view.

(same goes for putting these this type of component in a DLL but thats
for another thread!)

Sorry but these may seem an easy question but I hope someone can help

I have been experimenting with the Indy 9 demo projects for the Client
and Server components and managed to get them working when run on the
same PC.
Here are the settings I used
Client Port 47110 (the default in the project)
Bound IP is blank
Bound Port = 0

Server Host set to localhost (as you might expect)

But I have been unable to get any communications when the server is
installed on another machine on our network.
Can anyone give me some idea on how to set the Host/Port settings to
achieve communications targeted at a specific IP address.

This example is targeted only on localhost, that is, you will see some results only when you launch both Server exe and Client exe on the SAME COMPUTER
