I am working on this project, a part of it requires the client and the server to communicate. The server is located off site on a system that has a static IP so its not a problem communicating with the server but the server cant communicate with the client.

can anyone help me with a solution to this issue?

If the client can talk to the server then it must be some firewall blocking out bound connections.

so If is it that the client get bind to the server's IP address so replying from the server is not a prob? cause I am wondering how does the server sees the client's private IP to reply to it.

If you're doing client server communication why not just open up an api endpoint on the server?

Typically the external server, assuming you are going via the Internet, will see an incoming packet from your external ip address on a specific port (i.e. From your modem/router). The server sends the reply to that ip+port combination, which is then forwarded to you by your router.

 

Look up "NAT" for specifics.

 

Of course, if you set up a vpn to the server then you can communicate with it via your internal network.
