Assuming that there is an open connection between the server and client then it should run fine. however if either IP address is blocked by firewall rules then it will not.

You won't have problem wherever the server socket be accesible from your client over TCP (unless network falldown, but only Chuck Norris can avoid it ;) ).
The most common error is to make server app work behind a Dynamic IP router, each time the router is resetted there's a new IP for your connection; so the best option is to use a dynamic Domain Name Service (DNS) solver usable with your router as an integrated service on almost all routers, for example www.dyndns.org, so your client will point allways to your server socket whenever it be resetted.
If you need more info, please ask it !!!!

Good Luck !
