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

You might want to try a port scan or something like
http://www.canyouseeme.org/ (I don't know how legit that site is, so use
that at your own risk, I guess.) to ensure your port is open to the
internet.

I guess if that's not the issue, the next step has to include sharing your
your server/client code, since the code you provided is just outputting
your ip address.
