Hi!
I'm working on a java based chat program. It has a server and a client. The server and client communicate through sockets. The thing is, that if I put the server behind a proxy server, the client can't reach it…
I'm sure it's not a firewall issue and it's not about sockets being already bound.
And besides these, I don't know how to verify if the server is actually behind a proxy or not…
If you can, please post or e-mail a simple example for a server, that works behind a proxy server!
Please help! 
Thanks in advance!
To Colanth:
There is absolutely no firewall involved… No windows firewall, no ZoneAlarm, nothing.
The server is simply behind a proxy server.

It has nothing to do with Java or chat - to reach a port behind a firewall, the firewall has to allow connections to that port to come through. How you do that depends on which firewall you're using. Zone Alarm lets you allow that program (the server program) to act as a server, Windows firewall allows you to set an exception for that program or that port.
