okay so thanks to a friend who helped me figuring out what was going on here is the answer :
basically the application was running on a Windows Server 2012 instance and the windows firewall was preventing any traffic towards my application. Adding the application to the allowed applications list for the windows firewall did the trick. so here is a recap on what to do to make it work my server app is now bind to tcp://*:5556 and my client connects to tcp://public-ip:5556 via the EC2 console management , add the security group rule Custom TCP Aywhere on port 5556 on the server make sure you add the server executable to the allowed applications list. hope that helps others who might have the same problem :) On Mon, Jun 2, 2014 at 1:00 PM, Chrys Mischa Piva <chrys.p...@googlemail.com > wrote: > I have added some more information in the stack overflow thread. > > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23944907/zeromq-server-client-with-aws-ec2 > > > > > On Fri, May 30, 2014 at 11:24 PM, Chrys Mischa Piva < > chrys.p...@googlemail.com> wrote: > >> hello, >> >> I am new to this mailing list but I have been using zeromq for a while >> now. >> I recently wanted to move on from developing on my local machine to >> actually deploying my server side applications on an amazon-EC2 server, but >> I am experiencing a problem.
