connect to "IP" timed out

[Vassili Vladimir]

Hello,

I am using the following code to connect to a server:

String url = "some url";

		httpPost = new HttpPost(url);

		String responseString = null;

		try {

			httpClient.getParams().setIntParameter("http.connection.timeout",
					5000);
			HttpResponse response = httpClient.execute(httpPost);

		} catch (Throwable t) {
			return "Connection Timed Out...";
		}

It works fine with the android localhost "10.0.2.2" but when attempting to connect to another server (non localhost) it says connect timed out! What can be the reason?

Please advice,

It may be because you are behind proxy.
