I have a server program and a client program. I built it based from the appliation from this tutorial. The thing is, it works (connects successfully and communicates) when I run both the program on the same computer. But when I tried running the client app in a different computer from where the server runs and connect it to the server app, this exception happens:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 169.254.212.31:1986
I made sure that the client app will connect to the IP Address that the Server App listens to. I am running my application in a LAN. What should I do to resolve this problem?
UPDATE:
I’m sorry, forgot to put the link of the tutorial I was talking about. Here it is.
Solved the problem by opening a port (in my case, Port 1986).
I followed this guide:
