Why can't I connect using Socket

[kayhustle]

I have written a simple server/client program in C# using System.Net.Sockets, when I attempt to connect to my own computer using the local ipaddress it works fine. When I attempt to connect to other computers using my server program it doesn't work. When I attempt to connect to my own computer using my true ip address it doesn't work. I am connecting using TCP, anybody know why this happens?

Cofirm your machine has a true IP Address, and You will have it only when you have an adapter. Try to ascertain using a ping command CMD > ping <IP Address> love2code
