A router friendly TeamSpeak!

[MrStolpe]

I cant host because of my router; TeamSpeak is not router friendly!

I have it so all calls to my router to a certan port goes to the PC with the server on as soon as people conn. to me they disconnect.

Please make the next ver. of TeamSpeak work with routers.

(I tryed disconnecting the router and putting the cable modem right into the PC and they can connect and chat but when i hook up the router it wont let users connect.)(No I can't keep it off the router because we have 2 other computers.)

How, exactly, did you configure the router? Did you forward both the TCP and UDP ports? What kind of router?

Don't forget that your ISP and all the Internet backbones between a server and a client have routers, so TS must be router-friendly.

It might have trouble with port-forwarding, but that's probably tweakable in your home router.

[MrStolpe]

I have a SMC router and there is only 1 forward area for ports

[ScratchMonkey]

Describe how you set it. (I'm not familiar with SMC. I use a Linux box for my gateway/router/firewall/NAT.) It may be that SMC's router is too limited for this, but give us some details so we can tell for sure.

[MrStolpe]

well i forwarded the port # but i get an UDP error

[MrStolpe]

i have something called "Virtual Server" that lets me set ports that come into the router forward to this PC.

Then i have this "Special Applications" here is what the help for it says.

"Some applications require multiple connections, such as Internet games, video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with your Barricade. "

I have a SMC (http://www.smc.com/) Barricade 4 port 10/100 mbps router (port means 4 Computers able to be connected to it for those who may not know)

[ScratchMonkey]

You say you forwarded "the" port number. Only one? TS uses two, a UDP port and a TCP port. You have to forward both of them.

The "multiple connections" that the manual is talking about don't apply. That has to do with a server that listens dynamically on more than one port, so the router can't predict what ports to forward without understanding and snooping the protocol. The big protocols that do this from the client side are FTP, Quake, and IRC. FTP can be set not to do this.

[MrStolpe]

what are the port #s the one for the server is 8765

[R. Ludwig]

Take a look at the FAQ .

maybe that answers your question....

[TR-13]

Pssst

TCP:8765
UDP:8766

Rule: UDP=TCP+1 :)

The truth has to do nothing with the number of the people who are convinced as her.

We run a dedicated TS server for a very long period now on a win2000 pro system. Its behind a Draytek Vigor 2200E router and its working like a dream. The problem is that some routers (like the Linksys) have badly implemented forwarding firmware. I have brought back my linksys because of that.

[ScratchMonkey]

Nice to know! Thanks!

Can anyone else report what routers work well with TS, both with the client and the server? We know the Linksys has issues. What should people choose instead?

(My boss is getting DSL for his house, and I'm shopping for his router. :D)

I am using a Zyxel Prestige 642i (common ADSL router) which works very nicely with teamspeak. I think it is an inexpensive and quite ok router. It does support basic NAT but only allows to foreward about 10 ports. So if someone is looking for a real NAT solution he might be better off with another router. Nevertheless I never had problems setting up either Teamspek Servers nor clients.

[xoron]

perhaps you should create a new section for hosting a ts-server behind a router and/or firewall. i've read many threads (not only this one) of people having problems to set up a server behind a router..

nonsense!

not teamspeak must be configured to work with routers, the router must be configured to forward the ports teamspeak needs..


i use www.fli4l.de and (since i know which ports to forward) i have no problems with it...

I have actually a running Teamspeak Server at WinMe. A USR 8000 NAT router (with the SMC Barricade 7004 Firmware) routs the 2 needed ports to the server machine. Works perfect. Everyone can connect to my server. TEamspeak is cool!

The only thing i wich is that the different rooms could be protected with different passwords. It can not at the moment, right?

[Gearbone]

Just wanted to let you know, Im running a dedicated TS server on a W2k Server and have a Cisco 806 series router in place and everything is A ok for me and my "users"

Looking forward to the update and if all goes well, will be hitting that Paypal button soon

Hmmm. I got a Linksys router and I have no probs with it!
So why did you. I now got a prob thx to the latest new firmware. Curious if there is again a new.

Ow y. The probs went while I was messing on my router. Else it went great!

I have the same router would you be so kind as to share your setting with me I'm trying to setup a TS server as well.

Thanks

You can successfully run a TeamSpeak 1.0 server behind a Linksys router. The router uses NAT (network address translation) to make all your computers behind it share a single IP address assigned by your ISP.

Let's assume you've got TeamSpeak running on a computer whose IP address is 192.168.0.20. You'll need to set up two forwarding rules. Connect to your router, click the "Setup" tab, then click the "Advanced" tab. Finally, click the "Forwarding" tab.

Create two rules:

Port Range Protocol IP Address
8765-8765 TCP 192.168.0.20
8766-8766 UDP 192.168.0.20

Once you've set up your rules, launch TeamSpeak server. Next, go to the TeamSpeak server list and see if your server shows up--it should! Finally, you can connect to your own server from "inside" your LAN by going to its internal address (192.168.0.20 in this example).

Good luck,

I work behind a quite simpel router. 4 ports router/switch "edimax"
It works quite easy after you know how to configure. My only problem is;
I'm Have a 24/7 TS server running on my PC server down in my basement (P90 with no more than W98SE and OE5.0)
The problem is that sometimes the connection can end suddenly... (all whitin a few seconds, according to my connection log) Verry irritating during matches...
I dont know if this has got something to do witch my router...
The strange thing is that it never occured when I'm logged in too along with my teammates.
Enyone a sollution?

The fix is simple: NEVER STOP PLAYING.

I am having trouble aswell.

I've got a Netgear router and I've already set it to Respond to Ping requests on WAN which I had to do to Host Joint Operations and I've set my PC as the DMZ server.

Ive seen on this thread that people are talking about different ports to what Teamspeak actually tell you to open.

Is the UDP incoming or outgoing? Since I think I have opened it because TS now shows the WAN IP on the IP list were it didn't before.

I don't need to open the TCP because the client works perfectly fine.

SO any one who knows about Netgear routers could you help me please.

You found a thread from 2002 that deals with ts1... it is outdated. The "right" (right = ts2) ports are still on the FAQ though
