So I downloaded the most recent TS client and server (RC2 2032 and RC2 20201, respectively) and am having problems accepting outside connections with the firewall turned on.

Machine specs:
Windows XP Home ed. SP2
Motorola SurfBoard SB4200
Linksys Etherfast® Cable/DSL Router BEFSR41 V3
Windows Firewall and IP Filtering disabled
McAfee Firewall 4.02.6000.0

I've set up port forwarding in my router and allowed the TS server access in McAfee.

I CAN connect with the TS Client from the server machine. I CANT connect from the other machine in my LAN and http://ts2test.planetteamspeak.com/ reports that the port is closed.

However, if I disable McAfee entirely, everything works fine. I tried adjusting all sorts of other settings in McAfee, but can't find anything about UDP other than a checkbox that says "Allow protocols other than IP, APR, and RARP. There is a section for allowing ARP, allowing IDENT, etc, but nothing I can find to configure the UDP settings. There is also a list of IP ports (0-255), most of which are blocked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you looked at the manual for it?

Yes, I've looked in the manual, nowhere can I configure a UDP port to be universally open with McAfee. Ports are configured program by program and TS server is allowed to communicate on the right port.

I'm thinking that there is a dependency somewhere that needs to be opened, perhaps something like Application Layer Gateway Service or Generic Host Process, even though I get no filtering rule alerts when trying to connect.

Anyway, this isn't a huge concern for me since I'm sitting behind a router (which acts as a firewall) and only disable McAfee when I'm running TS, but it would be nice to figure out.

Thanks.
