Noob Looking for Help

[Hallick]

I'm sure this has been asked many times before, but I cannot seem to find a thread that helps me here.

So here we go:

I set up a server on my laptop, have all the permissions done correctly and was abel to use client to get onto my server np. I also got onto the server via my desktop computer. Now, no one else can log-on to the server at all. they get the No server up message thing.

Here's the other info. I am running a Microsoft MN500 Wireless Network Base station connected to my Cable Modem. my Desktop is a home built monster, but it connects to the server just fine.
I'm running the server on my laptop which has a D-Link AirPlus DWL-G650 wireless network adapter plugged into the PC Slot.

Both machine's can use the client to get onto the server, but no one else can.

I figure I need to somehow open some port on the base station and get it to forword, but for the life of me I cannot figure this out.

Would someone please explain to me how I am supposed to do this?

thanks in advance,
Hallick

Here's a suggestion. Go to www.portforward.com. They have every imaginable router known and very clear instructions on how to forward ports.

Or you can look at this thread: (How to use TS behind a Router. )

It's what I used to get people outside my LAN to connect. You may want to get your router manual out before you try it. It *should* show you where the settings are.

thats because....you have the same ip for both of them....so yea...and no other ppl can get on it...cuz your not giving them the external ip(i think it's called that...not sure tho...)

Here's a step by step of what you will need to do, I just figured this stuff out recently and it works awsome.

1) You will need to find the Pritate IP of your server (the one given to it by the router). This number can be found by using the Ipconfig utility or by going to the status of the network connection. It most likely will be a 192.168.XXX.XXX number.

2) Seccond thing you will need to do is determine what ports to open. If you use the default port for teamspeak it will be 8767 UDP. If you want people outside of your network to connect to the web client to perform administration tasts, you will need 14534 TCP. To allow others to connect via Telenet you will need 51234 TCP (unless you changed it in the server.ini file). Most likely you will only need to open 8767 UDP. Remeber, the more ports open, the more vulnerable your system will be to outsiders.

3) You will need to then tell your router to forward any information going to the ports you will open to the server private IP. To do this, you will need to RTFM... I looked around and found an online PDF or the manual here:
http://www.datacom.bg/promo/offers/MS/MN500/MN500_Base_Station_Configuration_Guide.pdf
Look on the top of page 20 to get step by step instructions on how to open a port.

4) You're done!! Now all you need to do is give your friends the Public IP. Found by right-clicking on the server icon in the taskbar and go to Your IP's, it's the one with the Globe icon next to it. It's the one that's diffrent then your Private IP.

Hope that helps.

It's amazing what happens when you do a little bit of internet research!!
