I installed openfire in centOS 6.4 server (192.168.1.118) and i was able to login into spark using the server as 192.168.1.118.
we want to use spark from outside, so i did a port forwarding in my dlink router with 192.168.1.118 and 9090 (default port of openfire). even allowed it as public.

We use public static ip say xxx.x.xx.xx now if i give this as server in spark i am unable to login. but if type xxx.x.xx.xx:9090 in browser i can get the openfire admin page.

why am i unable to connect to spark client even after port forwarding.
it is not working in windows even.

Please have a look at https://community.igniterealtime.org/thread/20171

Is java bound to port 5222 on the server?
