Need help with forwarding

[Jens]

I have some problems with for warding my ports, I will try to give all information needed.

Router: SpeedTouch 510
OS: Windows XP Home Edition
Switch: Svec FD821

I set up NAPT as you can see in the screenshot attached, also when i check the IP addresses given by the TS server i only see 10.0.0.153 (the computer where the TS server is on).

I can connect through 10.0.0.153:8767 (with all the LAN computers) but not to 81.204.113.78:8767 (IP given by www.myipaddress.com).

I never managed to run any kind of server in my LAN.

Help would be great, Jens

Hi Jens
Your router setup looks fine although I don't know what "type" or "state" means.
Some models of router don't like people looping back into the LAN via the external IP address, in those cases you should use your internal LAN IP.
Have you asked a friend to attempt to connect from outside your lan?
You don't mention whether there's a software firewall running on the server machine. Turn off all firewalls, internet security software, popup blockers, antivirus on the server machine while you try working out what the problem is.
If your ts server doesn't give both internal and external IP addresses, that's not important and is there only for information.
I prefer to use http://checkip.dyndns.org/ to check my external IP, "whatsmyip" and the one you gave seems to return my ISP proxy rather than my address (don't know if this makes slightest bit of difference)

Well thanks for the reply, i went to the website you gave me but it returns the same IP, and I'm pretty sure that's my WAN IP. I'll try to shut down all applications mentioned and let someone connect, hope it helps. I'll post the result soon

Well i did everything you said, but still I get this error message:

[18:44:10] Connecting to 81.204.113.78:8767
[18:44:13] No reply from server
Maybe the server is offline
or maybe teamspeak is not running on it

I changed my Router settings to (check the image attached)

Does someone else have any tips for this problem, I'm kind of confused now and have no idea what to do :confused:

YOU get this error when connecting to 81.204.113.78 (which is your WAN IP) ?
If so, pls read the "no reply" FAQ thread again.

[Jens]

Thanks Guldi,

I am going to try that, for me is option 2 from 'I own server & client'.
I will let you guys know if i get it to work and how

[Jens]

Great news guys!

I got my server up and running thanks to you Gulie :D

I just set my Default Server (under the NAPT menu) to my lan IP, connected my own client to my LAN ip and my friend connected to the WAN ip and voila :cool:.

Thanks for your great help guys, couldnt have done it without you.
