Well, I downloaded the server from this website and did everything according to the FAQ. I forwarded port 8767 from my modem to my internal IP. I have no firewall running and unfortunatly I can only see my internal IP at de IP status from the server in the systray. What am I doing wrong? When I update my IP's, it doesn't work. What can I do to make it work??

go to www.whatsismyip.com to see your realworld ip if it's unknown to you . your server is not dependent on your realworld ip showing up in that icon tab ... hand out your real world ip to someone with ts client and see if they can connect .. if port fowarding is correct and no firewall apps are blocking like you state ... then they should apper in your ts no troubles

That isn't my problem. I know my IP and when I want to connect to my created server, it says it's offline or nog running. This morning it was working, but when I got back from work, it didn't work :(

With the IP numbers I mean, right click on the TS server icon is the systray and than click YOUR IP'S, I only see my internal IP 10.0.0.150 and not my real internet IP which I have to see before logging onto my server.

log in to your server with the 10.0.0.150 from inside the lan . hand out the real ip so others can join you ...if the server and the client are on same pc you can allso use the loop back ip of 127.0.0.1 this ip does not leave your pc . where the 10.0.0.150 is sent to the router and back to your pc with that ip on your lan .

your server is not dependent on your realworld ip showing up in that icon tab ... this is a feature and is not your proublem your real world ip showing up is not what makes your ts server work but is there to inform you of your ip so you can hand it out. this feature goes down from time to time , and dose not stop the server from working !

the no reply from server error is in 99% of the time is something on the network blocking the clinets from getting to the pc with server installed I.E a firewall , like zone alarm - zap - black ice - Etc, router with incorrect or no port fowarding , router based firewall , xp's built in firewall that people dont know gets turned on with SP2 install , and or a ISP blocking ports ... any or a combo of any anywhere in the www. to the server it's self will cause a non connection of a client ..
yours proublem sounds to be on your end ?
