You request is extremely vague as to what you wish to accomplish. What hardware are you using or wanting to use? What is the objective of this application?

Also based on your description above, connecting to a router over the internet sounds like a security risk, why would you want to do that?

None of this makes any sense. What does 'speak to the internet' mean ? Do you want to download or upload via FTP ? Read mail ? Send your own data across the internet ? What is your actual goal ?

My app is GUI that controlling light system.Now i am able to do it only when i am at near it. I want to be able to do it from home.

If i work with sockets dose it means that my client and server needs tobe on a same network.

You know that the internet is a network, right ? You'd be insane to not do it using a more stable mechanism like a webservice, but I don't see why it should not work. Do you have a static IP at home ? Or will you just keep updating it ?

Thank you very much.

"i wan be able to talk through internet to the router".

This is actually very simple. Fire up your browser of choice, pick up your mouse and say 'Hello router!'. There, easy.

I think that he's saying your question is so vague that he can answer it without helping you much

Member 7981186 1-Feb-12 14:13pm

Well, the most logical way to do that, is to set up a web server and host a web service, which you can then easily call using established mechanisms, to send messages to turn lights on, or whatever. You could even host it at a third party and just have code at home call it regularly to ask it if it needs to change anything. The other way requires a static IP address on the web, then you can write code to connect to that address using any mechanism you like.
