Hi I wrote a socket server and client and tested on local host on my home system and I was able to communicate with multiple PC @ home. Now I moved the socket server to the web server and tried to test the client connection on my terminal. but every time i get a connection time out error message. I am posting the server code and client code here, can anyone help to find , what is going wrong....

Server

 #!/usr/bin/perl 

use strict;
use IO::Socket;
use POSIX 'WNOHANG';

use constant PORT => 12000;

my $quit = 0;

$SIG{CHLD} = sub { 
    while (waitpid(-1,WNOHANG)>0) {
    }
};

my $lisen_socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(
    LocalPort => PORT,
    Proto => 'tcp',
    Listen => 1,
    Reuse => 1
);
die "cant create a soocket \n" unless $lisen_socket;

warn "server ready.. waiting for connection in port : 12000......\n";

while (!$quit) {

    my $connection;
    next unless $connection = $lisen_socket->accept;
    defined(my $child = fork()) or die "cannot fork : $!\n";

    if($child == 0) {
        print "Inside child\n";
        $lisen_socket->close();
        &interact($connection);
        exit 0;
        print "exiting from child\n";
    }

    $connection->close();
}


sub interact {
    my $data;
    my $count = 0;
    my $sock = shift;
    #STDIN->fdopen($sock,"<") or die "cannot reopen STDIN : $!\n";
    #STDOUT->fdopen($sock,">") or die "cannot reopen STDOUT : $!\n";
    #STDERR->fdopen($sock,">") or die "cannot reopen STDERR : $!\n";
    $| =1;
    while(defined $sock) {
        print $count;
    $data = <$sock>; 
    if($data ne "") {
    print "Server : $data\n";

    print $sock "type next line\n";
        $count++;
}

}
}

Client 

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use strict;

use IO::Socket::INET;

$| =1;

my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(
    PeerHost =>'208.91.198.132',
    PeerPort =>'12000',
    Proto => 'tcp',
) or die "cannot create a socket $@\n";

print "TCP Connection Creatred Sucessfully\n";
