title: Connecting to an RMI server that sits behind a firewall?
body: <p>I know my RMI app works correctly - it works fine when the server is on localhost and inside the LAN but when connecting to an external RMI server it fails when trying to make stub calls </p>
  
  <p>So the server is bound to localhost (an internal IP - 192.168.1.73) but the client is specifying an external IP (45.4.234.56) - which then gets forwarded to the internal server. How do you resolve this problem?</p>
  
  <p>thanks</p>
