Apps Network Issue

I have built a simple client/server application which works well over the LAN. Problems arise when attempting to access the server over the Internet. My Android client cannot see the server. Pinging the host results in the DNS picking up the correct IP but the ping results in 100% packet loss and 'host unreachable'. Strange thing is that my iPodd, which is connected to the same LAN as the Android,, can ping the host with no problems. This leads me to the conclusion that there is some configuration issue with the Android.

Anyone have any ideas please?
