socket server port

binbin

Hello,

I have a socket server programmed in RAPID that is bound to a dedicated port (e.g. 3999) and listen to the received packets. 

When the socket server is bound to the Service Port (192.168.125.1), the client on a PC could connect to the server bound with that socket port, it is working well.

While the socket server is bound to the WAN (10.138.xxx.xxx), the client on the PC could NOT connect to the server bound with that socket port. (but I had tried to let the client connect to the port 80, it could be connected)

The RobotWare version I tried is 6.01.0041 internal build, and the "PC interface" option is enabled.

Does there have any limitations on the socket port for the WAN interface? Or How can I build a socket server application that could be bound to any socket port with WAN IP address?

Looking forward to your reply,

Thanks and best regards,

Re-tested, The problem comes from the company intranet. 

When simply connect the Robot Controller and the client (PC) in with a simple switch, there is no problem for the socket server bound to any port in the Robot Controller.

Sorry for the last post without sufficient test.
