First off, if you want people's help, and are posting in a support forum to get that, I'd suggest you not tell people what advice to offer or not offer, and to avoid calling ANY suggestions "shit" - it pays to be nice. Also, the fact that I've PERSONALLY helped at least a 50 people on here diagnose the very problem you're having, I'd avoid saying "noone ever gets a good response." Why should we help you if you're already so full of yourself that we all look simple and unhelpful to you?

That said...

All the DSL modems I've seen in the last few years *are* routers, so you are almost certainly behind a router. As such, you'll want to look at configuring port forwarding. www.portforward.com is a great resource to see exactly how to do that for most given routers. It couldn't hurt to lookup your DSL modem and see if its listed there - if it is, it's a router as well as a modem, and you'll have the directions you need to forward TeamSpeak Traffic.

Failing that, here's my typical generic checklist of thing to check/doublecheck.


Generic "my friends/users can't connect" checklist:

1) Are they connecting to your WAN address (www.whatismyip.com)
2) Are the ports forwarded from your rotuer to the TeamSpeak Server on your LAN? (www.portforward.com)
3) Have you made an exception for Inbound UDP traffic on port 8767 in your software firewall(s)? This includes the Windows Firewall which is ON by default in Windows XP SP2
4) Is the server running? (test by connecting to it yourself)

If you want our help, and want to avoid us giving you answers that don't match your problem, trying going through this list, item-by-item, and reporting the results, step-by-step. The more information we get from you, the more we can help. The more mud-slinging you do, and the less information you give us, well, the harder it gets for people to even WANT to help you.
