Ok, so heres the deal. I have a linksys WRT54G router. I have the client version of TS2. I have windows XP home edition. I have been cruising these forums for two days now and have done everything from port forwarding to disconnecting my router and connecting my computer sirectly to the interne. All firewalls are off, and yet no matter what I do, I consistently get the message
"no reply from server, maybe the server is offline or maybe teamspeak is not running it.":confused:

I am about ready to pull my hair out on tyhis one, caue no matter what, I can't connect.:mad:

If anyone has had this similar problem and knows how to fix it, or if anyone knows how to fix it, please please please tell me!

Thanks to you in advanvce.

is this a server that is functioning problem? or is this a server you just set up yourself?

Right from the FAQ:

Q: When I try to connect to a TeamSpeak server I keep getting the message 'No reply from server'. What does this error mean?

A:
The client could not make a connection to the destination server you're trying to connect to. Either something is blocking the connection request or there is no server at the end. Please check the client.log file in the TeamSpeak folder to get more information about the connection attempt.

Possible reasons:

* You entered an IP or port which is not correct or where no server is running on.
Check with the serveradmin if you have the correct IP and port and if the server is running. If the server doesn't run on the default port 8767, enter the destination address of the server like the following: IP:PORT or in numbers 192.168.1.1:8760 (this is just an example)

* You have a firewall which is preventing a connection to the server.
Check your firewall manual to see how to allow TS a connection to any TS server. The ports required by TS are mentioned in the FAQ. If this doesn't help you, check a firewall forum for specific help for your kind of firewall

* You can connect to some servers but not to the one specific.
Test several servers to make sure the problem lies not within your network configuration but on the server side.
The server hoster may miss a port forwarding or has a bad firewall config (this is often the case when new / network unexperienced user setup servers). Advice the hoster to configure the port forwarding.

* You get a timeout.
A timeout issue can in certain cases be solved by switching the client into the debug mode. Some firewalls can cause timeout problems as well, so deactivate the firewall for testing. Wireless networks may as well be the cause of timeout problems. Try to connect without the WLAN and use an ethernet cable instead.

* You get a socket error like 11004.
Check the sticky threads in the forum. Socket errors are described in several forum sections.

Note:

Do NOT use the WAN IP or serverlist to connect to your own LAN server. Your router will most surely not allow this. Within your own network, ONLY use the LAN IP. There is no difference even if you setup a port forwarding in your router, use the LAN IP when ever you or someone else is within the same LAN as the server is.
