Re: SDLNet(not getting packs with WAN IP but works fine with LAN

I ended up creating an SDL Net Server on Windows thinking it was Android Limitation. I opened the port on the Windows FireWall and Port Forward the Modem, still no luck.

I have no idea. 

IPaddress client::ResolveHost(char* address, int port)
{
	IPaddress serverAddress;
	/* Resolve server name  */
	//if (SDLNet_ResolveHost(&serverAddress, address, port)) //WAS 127.0.0.1
	if (SDLNet_ResolveHost(&serverAddress, "WAN ADDRESS", 2000)) //WAS 127.0.0.1
	{
		//fprintf(stderr, "SDLNet_ResolveHost(%s %d): %s\n", argv[1], atoi(argv[2]), SDLNet_GetError());
		//exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}
	return serverAddress;
}

This How the Client is setting to Connect, but if the WAN ADDRESS is replaced with LAN Address it works

This is Server Address

IPaddress serverAddress;
		/* Resolve server name  */
	//if (SDLNet_ResolveHost(&serverAddress, address, port)) //WAS 127.0.0.1
	if (SDLNet_ResolveHost(&serverAddress, NULL, port)) //WAS 127.0.0.1
	{
		//fprintf(stderr, "SDLNet_ResolveHost(%s %d): %s\n", argv[1], atoi(argv[2]), SDLNet_GetError());
		//exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
	}
	return serverAddress;
