[android-developers] Re: creating a server app on the Android

If you have the phone connected to wifi it should work.  While using 3G or other phone network it does not work.  I tested this empirically about a year ago.

Using Google Cloud Messaging may be a good alternative.

I'm using ServerSocket() object to create a proxy server

But I can't seem to connect to it.

The phone is running 3g and has an ip address.

i'm using port 1962. Maybe that's the problem.

i'm trying to connect from my desktop

help appreciated.

p.s. again this is on the phone itself.

on the emulator, if i use localhost (from the android browser),
it works.
