How to connect client to server ?

by geminicoolguy2003 . Updated 20 years, 3 months ago

Hello guys! Here is my problem:
I have a pice of client/server software(Windows XP based) let’s call it X, the server part of X is installed on a computer on which i have physical access, located in a local area network with no public ip, i also do not have access to the router/nat server on that network. Now the problem is i want to connect to server X from my computer(visible from internet) running the client portion of aplication X over the internet, keeping in mind that the server X is not directly visible from my computer, and also i don’t have acces on the target lan server/router.Let me tell you from start that a posible solution was found using ssh port forwarding, but is not taken into consideration based on different reasons, which i shall not go into here…
So my question is the following, is there posible to build an application composed of 2 pices, let’s call one A1 and other A2, so that i can install A1 on target computer(running server portion of X), and A2 on my computer(running client portion of X) such that at first A1 establishes a connection to A2, and then client X connects to server X through that connection(A1 <--> A2), something like port forwarding done in ssh but in a application that i can write.
The 500 points question is how do i write such an aplication(A1, A2), or if is this possible?
Any hints or insights into a solution to this problem will be greatly apreciated.

Best regards, Alex.
