Photon server over the internet not connecting

Hi all

I have posted a question in the photon forum:
http://forum.exitgames.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=57&start=0
But I figured out that I may get more help here since the community here is much more active.

In short, I was able to run and test the photon server locally by running the unity realtime example
But when I compiled the unity example and changed the IP to connect to my machine from another one in another internet connection, the connection failed.

Not sure why, maybe I need to setup something else im not aware of.

Any help appreciated :wink:

Pretty sure you didn’t tell it where to route messages to port 5055 to thus the message is lost in your LAN instead of going to the server machine
(or the server machine has a software firewall blocking it)
