No one can connect! Need Help?

[brooklotzkar]

Hello everyone, I have just created a teamspeak server on a computer I had laying around with the Debain Etch distro. I started the teamspeak2-server_start script, made some changes in the server (via internet) and it seems to be working. However, when someone else not from my network trys to logon, they recieve an error. My internet/network is running through a router, if that is any help to you. So does anyone know how to get other people besides myself and other computers on my network connected to my server (ip:192.168.0.106)?

Thanks,
Brook

Well the 192.xxx.xxx.xxx IP is an internal IP address for your local network.

Noone from the outside can access that. Go to http://whatismyip.com/ and that will be your accessible IP address that other people will be able to use to connect to your network. You'll need something like dyndns to foreward your IP to a static address like yoursite.dyndns.com for people to connect to.

I wish people would read the forums as this has been detailed in multiple theads in the last month alone.

You'll need either a fixed IP from your ISP or as skycatcher says a whaysmyip/dyndns/no-ip account so that firstly people can find you on the internet.

Then you'll need to configure your router to forward the port (normally 8767 but could be anything or multiple ports depending on what you set in the webadmin). There's a lot of different routers out there so read the manual and don't expect us to tell you how to do it. When you do find out how to set up port forward you need to forward UDP 8687 (or whatever your server is set to) to your IP address of the PC running teamspeak (192.168.0.106)

Once done try again, if you have any problems after that check to see if you have a firewall as if you do then that'll need configuring to allow the port/s through.
