No reply, maybe server is offline

[Bootykilla]

Ok here's my problem I am trying to run just a basic public TS server. I can connect to it from my computer using this address 192.168.123.100:8767. But when I do a search for my server the address is 207.119.75.162:8767. I cannot connect to that one though. It says No reply from server. Maybe server is offline or ts is not running on it. ????? What is causing this. My internet is Centurytel DSL. I am using there modem and also a wireless router so that my PSP can connect also. I have tried numerous things from the forum to try and get it to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated......

I can connect to it from my computer using this address 192.168.123.100:8767. But when I do a search for my server the address is 207.119.75.162:8767. I cannot connect to that one though.

Okay. Your computer has two IP adresses :


WAN IP = That's the IP, the rest of the world goes to your computer from. (207.119.75.162)



LAN IP = The local IP - that the network (including your pc) uses. (192.168.123.100)


You should always connect to your server using your LAN IP as the server is Local (on your machine = on your Local Area Network), where as people from the rest of the world should always connect to your WAN IP, as they are not on your LAN.

So basically, there's nothing wrong, if you're able to connect to your teamspeak server using your LAN IP, and everyone else can connect using your WAN IP.

That would probably be covered plentifold in either the manual, the FAQs. And even if its not, I would guarantee you, that your question has been asked before on these forums.

Where am I going with this? Well... It's great that you know how to ask a question and all that... But if you look in the blue line above the main forum, you see an option called "Search"... That would have two advantages :

1) We wouldn't have to answer the same questions always
2) You would get answer INSTANTLY, which should be good for you.

So please - for another time - search first. As you're pretty lucky I answered you, as no one else probably want to bother answering this question. :)

Thank you in advance.

ok here's the deal I used the search option up there and everything I found was actually unclear to me to be my problem even though it probably was. I can connect using the LAN but so far no one else can connect using the WAN, I'm not sure what is causing that, it shows up in the server list but still can't connect. Is my computer not letting it forward to the port or what??

forward the port that TS uses in you router :).. and ppl from outside should could connect

If you need help forwarding the ports, goto http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm, select your router, then select Teamspeak, then follow the instructions.
