Alright, so i am messing with sockets and such, and i have my server running on local host, and i am testing my clients on my local host also, but when i transfer my flash file over to another PC and change local host to my IP (i got my ip from cmd with ipconfig/all), it never works.

So, i did some research and i guess my IP is private? it starts with 192.168

how do i make my ip public?

also, the tests will probably be only ran on my network, i’m pretty sure i won’t release an online game, but you never know
