title: Winsock2 connection from an external IP address
body: <p>I wrote a simple char program with winsock2 in C using the examples in the msdn.It works unless I'm trying to connect to the server via a computer which isn't connected to the same router, (using the external address of the network)</p>
  
  <p>I can a sure that it is not a firewall issue on the computer or the router, I've no problem setting up a minecraft server and connect to it externally.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried to bind the external ip address to the server but it turns out it is impossible.</p>
  
  <p>Is there somesort of flag that allows connection from an external IP?</p>
