JsonRpcProvider only works with localhost

Hi, I dunno if I’m using this right or not but I’m having a lot of issues experimenting with the different providers. Example: JsonRpcProvider:

                    case "R" : break;
                        provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider("http://164.68.121.219:8545");
                        break;
                    case "L" : 
                        // THIS WORKS AND RETURNS CORRECT BALANCE VALUES !!!
                        provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider("http://localhost:8545");
                        break;

I tried to connetc to a local geth node and to a remote geth node. The connection with the local node works and I can read the balances of some addresses and block number and they are right, but if I try to connect to a remote machine it does not even try to connect. It is not a netowrking issue, I got this cleared. If I start a tcpdump on the address it does not even generate outgoing packets from the machine the browser is running. Could it be the browser or something concerning CORS or similar? TIA

LOL! Excellent. Glad that was easy to fix. My bad too for not reading the original code a bit closer. :p
