title: AIR for Android SocketServer over WiFi
body: <p>Developing a multiplayer game for Android and using the AIR SocketServer class to communicate between server and client AIR applications.</p>
  
  <p>On Windows 8 I am using Virtual Router Plus to set up my PC laptop(where the server app is running) as a wifi hotspot.</p>
  
  <p>I run ipconfig in cmd after my wifi is running to grab the ipv4 IP address under 'Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection'</p>
  
  <p>This is the IP I bind to in the server app and connect to in the client app.</p>
  
  <p>If I launch both server and client on the same machine, everything works fine.
  When I install the client app on my Android device, I am unable to establish a socket connection. The WiFi is running properly on my Android device.</p>
  
  <p>Is a policy file necessary on the server machine when creating socketserver connections over a local wifi network?
  If so, shouldn't the client app be throwing a security error when it tries to connect?</p>
  
  <p>I am lost as to what my troubleshooting steps should be. ANY tips or feedback appreciated!</p>
