TcpListener: bypass port

Aug 21 2014 3:55 PM
Hey,

together with a friend I programmed a small Client/Listener. It is working fine on local network, but if I put one of this on a server (added my ip-address in the sourcecode) I can only message the server, but server messages don't reach me. Maybe it's because I have not forwarded any ports for my program at home (I cant open ports here). Games and other programs are working fine, so there must be a solution without opening ports on my router.

I would be thankful for any solution!

            Thread ServerThread = new Thread(new ThreadStart(thread));
            ServerThread.Start();

                NetworkStream stream = client.GetStream();
                stream.Write(message, 0, message.Length);
                stream.Close();
                client.Close();
            }
