Connection problems

[Crestrider]

I have set up a server on my personal computer, and my friends have no trouble finding it, however they cannot connect to it. I even used the IP myself and tried to connect to it and I couldn't connect to my own server using the IP it displays. I know it's the right IP because it's showing up in the search. I've also allowed the port through my Firewall.... and ideas?

If your running it from your own rig you must use your internal ip when *you* connect to it. All others use the ip you speak of. As far as others connecting to your TS you must open and forward the port for the Teamspeak server. If you are useing the default port that would be 8767 useing udp not tcp. Opening and forwarding would be done in your modem or router which might mean you will have to open the modem expert mode to create the rule. It all depends on what your connection is useing (Modem or router or both) Please search the forum as this is basic set up stuff you should already have checked.
