Recently i started Working on esp8266 01 module. i connected module to wi-fi router. i assigned IP:192.168.1.55
Subnet mask:255.255.255.0
GW: 192.168.1.1
Module successfully connected to wi-fi.
In remote place i opened server on port number 8080 and having ip address is 10.138.49.122. i am trying to connect to server but module is not connecting.
(whether the module will connect to remote servers or it will only connect to local(with in router))

So you are trying to connect from an address on a 192.168.X.X network, out over the internet, to an address on a remote 10.X.X.X network.

You will need to connect to the external ip address of the router on the remote network and forwared the 8080 port to 10.138.49.122 on that network.

NOT A SIMPLE TASK for a beginner!
