Hi all, 
I’ve got a little problem by connecting to a server via internet. I use this code:
[java]Client networkClient = com.jme3.network.Network.connectToServer(host, SERVER_CONNECTION_PORT);
networkClient.start();[/java]
(The ip is correct, the port (3900 33900) is opened and even the firewall is deactivated for testing)
If I use my IP as host, the connection produces a timeout error and this would result in an endless loop:
[java]while (!networkClient.isConnected()) {
//(I’m using a selfmade timeout handling here, but the condition of the loop is always “true”)
}[/java]
I’m sure, it’s not a problem of my code - You can see that from the fact, that local games work perfectly.
(Both localhost and my local ip adress as host)
Is there something in Spidermonkey, that I have to consider by creating a server, that should be available on the internet?
Maybe it’s just a problem of wrong settings on my router/firewall/whatever… But I really tried everything I could think of. 
I hope, someone of you has an idea of what could be the problem,

You have to make your hardware router forward the correct port to your local computer.
I think, I’ve already done that. This is a screenshot of the settings I’ve made on my router:

(I hope, you understand German: )
The local ip adress, that I’ve entered there, is at least correct.
EDIT: I just see, that in the combo box called “Port forwarding active for” (The first one), there’s the item “HTTP-Server”. Do I have to select it or is “Other applications” (The currently selected one) the right choice?
I understand german very well yeah ^^
From what you told me before the port should be “3900” though, shouldn’t it? Also you probably have to restart the router for the changes to take effect, but I guess it does that when you press “Übernehmen”.
You have to forward TCP and UDP.

Sorry, I meant port 33900 - Updated the first post. 
“Also you probably have to restart the router for the changes to take effect, but I guess it does that when you press “Übernehmen”.”
I’m not sure, but I restarted it manually today. So this is not the problem. 
@pspeed
Hm… I can only select one of the two types - Maybe I can create two of these settings, one with TCP and one with UDP.
I’ll edit it here, if I had success.
So far, thank you for your answers.

EDIT: Thank you very much - It works now, I just had to forward TCP and UDP, as pspeed said:

I’ve been searching for a quick overview about spidermonkey in jME3 and saw, that there’s no “general” documentation or whatever. There are just parts of a changelog, several topics in the forum and so on…
Because I was working with spidermonkey intensivly the last days, I could create a little overview about the different classes, methods and a bit about the infrastructure (And those little problems like mine, which can drive you mad ).
So if you guys do not mind, it would be an honour for me to write this little paper for beginners.
(You don’t have to insert it to the wiki or so It’s just that new developers have some kind of reference )
There is this:
https://wiki.jmonkeyengine.org/legacy/doku.php/jme3:advanced:networking
Don’t know if you were looking for more than that.
Yes, I was looking for some kind of example code and a more detailed documentation about the infrastructure, especially the serializers.
Furthermore, some kind of FAQ would be nice - Otherwise, there’ll be a lot more threads like this one with questions about obviously things.
