Listening socket problem

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Hi guys,

What I would like to achieve is create a client-server messenger
application. The problem I run into is :

I have created a listener socket on the client and connect to the remote
server ( with a another socket ) to login also tell the server what IP and
PORT address the client is listening on, but the IP address an internal IP
and not my public IP address because I'm behind a router. Is there any way I
could connect to the client behind a router without any hussle or any port
forwarding?Also how can I determine th right IP address and port for the
client ?

Could you guys point me out to the right direction ?

Thanks

Laszlo
