I created a Websocket server on .netcore console application,If i run both client and server on same PC then connection made successful,But if i run my client application on another PC then it shows the error ;-

"Exception: System.Net.WebSockets.WebSocketException (0x80004005): Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.WebSockets.WebSock

etException (0x80004005): Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Http.WinHttpException (0x80072EFD): A connection with the

Client Code:-

using System;
using System.Net.WebSockets;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Client_WebSocket
{
    class Program
    {
        private static UTF8Encoding encoding = new UTF8Encoding();

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Connect("ws://192.168.15.177:8080/").Wait();
            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
            Console.ReadKey();
        }

        public static async Task Connect(string uri)
        {
            Thread.Sleep(1000); //wait for a sec, so server starts and ready to accept connection..

            ClientWebSocket webSocket = null;
            try
            {
                webSocket = new ClientWebSocket();
                await webSocket.ConnectAsync(new Uri(uri), CancellationToken.None);
                await Task.WhenAll(Receive(webSocket), Send(webSocket));
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}", ex);
            }
            finally
            {
                if (webSocket != null)
                    webSocket.Dispose();
                Console.WriteLine(); 
                Console.WriteLine("WebSocket closed.");
            }
        }

        private static async Task Send(ClientWebSocket webSocket)
        {
            
            while (webSocket.State == WebSocketState.Open)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Write some to send over to server..");
                string stringtoSend = Console.ReadLine();
                byte[] buffer = encoding.GetBytes(stringtoSend);
                await webSocket.SendAsync(new ArraySegment<byte>(buffer), WebSocketMessageType.Binary, false, CancellationToken.None);
                Console.WriteLine("Sent:     " + stringtoSend);
                await Task.Delay(1000);

            }
        }

        private static async Task Receive(ClientWebSocket webSocket)
        {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
            while (webSocket.State == WebSocketState.Open)
            {
                var result = await webSocket.ReceiveAsync(new ArraySegment<byte>(buffer), CancellationToken.None);
                if (result.MessageType == WebSocketMessageType.Close)
                {
                    await webSocket.CloseAsync(WebSocketCloseStatus.NormalClosure, string.Empty, CancellationToken.None);
                }
                else
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Receive:  " + Encoding.UTF8.GetString(buffer).TrimEnd('\0'));
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Server Code:-

using System;
using Server_WebSocket;
namespace Server_WebSocket
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
              WebsocketServer websocketServer = new WebsocketServer();
            websocketServer.Start("http://localhost:8080/");
            Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
            Globals. _IsFstTymLoad = true;
            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

Start Method(Server):-

        public async void Start(string httpListenerPrefix)
        {
            HttpListener httpListener = new HttpListener();
            httpListener.Prefixes.Add(httpListenerPrefix);
            //httpListener.IgnoreWriteExceptions = true;
            httpListener.Start();
            Console.WriteLine("Sevrer Listening...");

            while (true)
            {
                //Waiting for Listening client ........
                HttpListenerContext httpListenerContext = await httpListener.GetContextAsync();
                if (httpListenerContext.Request.IsWebSocketRequest)
                {
                    ProcessRequest(httpListenerContext);
                }
                else
                {
                    httpListenerContext.Response.StatusCode = 400;
                    httpListenerContext.Response.Close();
                }
            }
        }
