Friends can't login to my TS server.

[ku1ture]

MY OS: WinXP Pro SP2
MY modem: Zyxel EQ660R ADSL router
TeamSpeak Server Version 2.0.20.1
Soundcard: Avance AC96 Audio
Game: Eve Online
Direct X Version 9.0c


Typically, when checking my IP in cmd with ipconfig my
IP address is 192.168.2.2
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway is 192.168.2.1
DHCP is 192.168.2.1
DNS Servers is 192.168.2.1

I've read all the info on this matter in the TS forums.
I've been to www.portforward.com and followed directions for
my router.

I forwarded port in NAT - Edit SUA/NAT Server Set.
Start port # is 8767, End port # is 8767,
IP address is 192.168.2.2

The router firewall default policy is:

Firewall Enabled
Asymmetrical Route Allowed (When Asymmetrical Route is allowed,
all LAN to LAN and WAN to WAN packets will bypass the Firewall check.)

Packet Direction and Default action is:
LAN to LAN / Router = permit
LAN to WAN = permit
WAN to LAN = drop
WAN to WAN / Router = drop

I have no firewall software running except the windows XP firewall.

When I set my TCP/IP settings to Static IP using these values I lost my ability
to access web pages all together. I had to return to the original TCP/IP settings of
Obtaining IP and DNS Server automatically, reset my modem, reboot my PC, and
uncheck the LAN automatic detect settings in my web browser internet options,
which I later rechecked, to get my access to the web back.

I've talked to my service provider, Embarq.
Embarq (formerly Sprint) informed me that I have a DHCP account.
So, I cannot use a static IP since I'm not paying for one.
They told me that it would not effect my using TeamSpeak.
They also said that anything having to do with port forwarding must
be referred to the Zyxel web interface.

I've given the external IP: 71.53.172.6:8767 to my friends and they
get the infamous message. "No reply from server
Maybe the server is offline
or maybe teamspeak is not running on it"

I can access the server using my local IP 192.168.2.2
For kicks I tried using the IP 192.168.2.1 in the port forwarding but
that didn't work. I tried forwarding the port to 80 instead of 8767. (Grabbing at straws.)
That didn't work either.

I've uninstalled TeamSpeak Server and reinstalled it twice with no difference.

This is all the info I can think of to give you to help me find a way to make this work.
I can't shake the feeling that it's got to be something simple but not so obvious that is causing
the same problem for so many folks.

Attached are server.log and TSclient.log

You have to forward it on UDP. Please check that.


Disable your firewall and let them try again. So we can eliminate the firewall as the cause of the problem.

Well, it's possible, then, that the IP you've given out changed, but if you checked it and gave it out shortly before they tried to connect (www.whatismyip.com) then it should have been alright.

I have no firewall software running except the windows XP firewall.

That's enough tho. By deafault firewall software stops ALL incoming traffic.

You could do as Thomas suggests and disable the firewall, but I'd only do that long enough to test the connection. If it works with the firewall off, I'd make an exception for Teamspeak (so you're still protected from everything else).

Good luck. :)

I am unable to find the place where I can edit UDP. My choices are
Password
LAN
WAN
NAT
Dynamic DNS
Time And Date
Firewall
Remote Management
UPnP

[WolfStar76]

When you setup port forwarding there are a few choices. TCP, UDP, or BOTH (sometimes ALL).

Make sure your forwarding for port 8767 is set for UDP (or BOTH). TCP alone won't work. :)

Ok, sounds good. Now, where do I find the place that gives me those choices? I am unable to find the place where I can edit UDP.

[WolfStar76]

Find your router's configuration information on www.portforward.com.

They typically have nice pictoral directions on how to setup port forwarding (since it varies from router to router).

[ANR Daemon]

Packet Direction and Default action is:
LAN to LAN / Router = permit
LAN to WAN = permit
WAN to LAN = drop
WAN to WAN / Router = drop

Your problem here, I think. Also You should be sure to set up XP firewall to bypass TS incoming traffic.

[ku1ture]

Okay, I've made the WAN to LAN = permit. And made sure TS is checked in exceptions for XP Firewall.

No difference. Result is same error.

[prozac]

yes man i have these problems. Im pretty sure its ZyXeL. i have a prestige 600 series with basically the same web configurator. U do not get to choose th eport as in udp and tcp its only a list where u get to put in port numbers and the ip. No damn choixe and its annoying me too :(. I am thinking of getting a new router but these r good for everything else. i wish someone uber cool expert can find the solution. If u could pls take a look at this (someone who is elible to help) as it shows the only thing ZyXeL routers have to do with port forwarding (look at the pictures..especially one with big list) http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/ZyXEL/Prestige600/TeamSpeak.htm


i hope we find a solution....

yours truly prozac

[ku1ture]

Thanks for the reply, prozac. At least I don't feel like it's something I'm not doing or something I'm doing wrong. I guess I'm outta luck right now until, like you say, someone with a big brain figures out a solution.

[RedLightning40]

I tryed the Portforwarding with PFconfig my "Gizmo" InnoMedia MTA6328-2Re (it's for my Internet phone) Sunrocket

I tryed the Nat & UDP

I have DHPC it's on ATM + I set it all to my ISP & UDP 8767

I have Configure NAT Port Map Database that I don't know what to do with other than the ISP & the port I can change the "Application"to -FTP-HTTP-HTTPS-DSN-SMTP-POP3-TELNET-PPTP

Configure Network Setting InnoMedia MTA6328-2Re
(External Port)
IP Address 74.128.162.61
Subnet Mask 255.255.248.0
Default Gateway 74.128.160.1

I hope this helps

[aaronjonasson]

one of my guild members keeps getting the Connection timed out when he tries to connect to my server, i already have one guild member in here with no problem.

[ANR Daemon]

If they both are in Internet (external connection to You), It must be his local problem.

[Althar]

Same problem here... I can't log in my friend's TS server, I've tried to open ports but the problem is always the same, I've read and done everything is written in this post.... PLEASE help me because I really don't know what to do! :(

[azhibberd]

Althar no one will bother helping you if you give some information on what you have tried and detail of exactly what your trying todo

[Althar]

I want to connect to TS but I can't and don't know why.... I tried everything like opening ports and overall removing firewalls (that one used by windows and even that one used by router), but I always read this message:

No reply from server
Maybe the server is offline
or maybe TeamSpeak is not running on it

In my last post i told you I tried to do all the things u have suggested... but it doesn't want to work..... help plz :(

[azhibberd]

Fire of all go under your network connections make sure that the connection is actually not showing as firewalled, what server are you trying to connect to please put in the connection info your trying to connect to... then try running a tracert on that address see if you can make it all the way, also try restarting your router... and double double check you dont have anything blocking your ports.
