Hello, I currently have 38 people in server, but 2 peoplke can't connect. I read FAQ and came up with this. Also i know their is many more of these post, but i read some and none fixed issue.

Q: Some people can't connect to my server. How to fix?

A:
Symptoms:

* People who are using a home router (NAT) can't connect to your server, but they can connect to other servers.
* People connected directly to internet, can connect to your server.
* The machine that is running the server has more than one ip number.


The server is probably sending replies using a different ip address than the one the clients connect to. (Most likely they connected to an alias, not the primary ip). Nat routers don't know what to do with this foreign incoming data (unknown ip+port), and drop the packets.

Solution:

* Open the file server.ini that is created in the same directory where the server executable is located.
* Look for the following line in section [Main Config]:

BoundToIp1=

* Modify it like this:

BoundToIp1=213.202.254.117

This will make the server listen and send only on the specified address. Even easier is to let the clients connect to the primary IP of the machine.

Note: You can bind the server to multiple IP addresses by adding additional BoundToIp options (i.e. BoundToIp2, BoundToIp3, etc.) to your server.ini.

So after that, i tried this BoundToIp=l-f.d2gwebsite.com
And it gave me this wierd effect where none of the serrvers went up, and i couldn't access Administrator. I'll put a screen shot in 5 min. But I can't figure whats rong, they can ping me server too..

I have this same problem. Every once in a while one person will have trouble getting into the server. I also looked at that help file, but it did not help at all. One person was having trouble getting in, then about an hour later he tried again without changing anything, and he got in fine. It seems that other people with routers have trouble getting in. It also seems anyone hosting a server with a D-Link router is having the same problem. I believe this is a big problem since a lot of people are having troubles if you look at all the posts about it.

There has been no help with this problem. I hope someone from teamspeak, or another user figures this problem out.

THANKYOU

Have you tried to actually use the IP rather than the domain name?

I can't speak for the topic creator, but I only use my IP. Im sure he/she has also tried just the ip. Other people with routers seem to have troubles some days connecting on servers going through a D-Link DI-524 router. I have no idea why.

You think i'm an idiot? I tried every combo, i tried my plain IP, i tried the Domain, i tried both, i tried any possible thing.

It shuts TS down, so the servers don't even start. Yet still no one can connect.

Hey what router you have other guy with same problem? Sorry forgot name.
