The first thing to do when creating a program for use on another
computer is to make everything that could be machine specific
configurable. Either put it in a config file or use environment
variables. That includes all IP addresses, port numbers and
filenames.
I don't know for sure that it's the problem here, but you have
a lot of hard coded values in there. They may be the right
values on your PC but there's no reason to think your client's
will be the same.
