Error: 'Windows Socket Error: (10060), on API 'connectĘ'
Question:
I have a 3 tier app. using the TMidasConnection. I can
connect to the server app when I use a client machine
within the local net. I can also connect to it if I dial
in directly into the local net. But, if I try to connect
via the Internet (through an ISP) I get the error "Windows
Socket Error: (10060), on API 'connect'". While connected
to the ISP, I can ping my server machine, but the component
does not see it.
Answer:
You are probably running into the firewall. If the server
is not outside the firewall sometimes you can use a
Port # > 1024 to access it, but you should check with your
IS department.
