Routers and TS Help

[Selej]

Hey all. I'm currently using a router and ever since I've gotten it, no one else has been able to connect to my TS server for some reason. The first icon when I try to see my TS IP is my own IP address, the second is a new one. That one won't work and my own IP address will get me into the TS server but no one else. Help please. :(

- You have two IP's:
a LAN IP (I think a PC icon) and a WAN IP (world icon). The LAN IP is only for use withing your LAN, the WAN only for users from the WAN.

WAN players can only join your server if you forwarded in your router the TS server port (default 8767) to your servers LAN IP.


doing a search for port forwarding will list many many threads.
But be aware that forwarding has nothing to do with TS, every server requires this. therefore and cause there are too many different routers, you'll not find how to configure your specific router correct.
You have either your router manual or a router forum (www.broadbandreports.com,...)
