Server is offline/trouble connecting to it ( sorry to repost but couldn't solve prob)

[Heartless]

I've downloaded TS Server & TS client a long time ago and everything worked fine.
But now that I bought a new mic & tried to talk with my friends over it , all of a sudden says my server is offline ( though I never had that problem , cause I always activate my server ) , I have activated server, but when I try to connect it says

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

I've checked all posible solutions, I have restarted my router, reinstalled teamspeak & teamspeak server , also cleared the files and it still doesn't work!

I know this topic was posted more than 1000 times by other people, but I just couldn't find the solution in them. Please help me.

~~~ Thank you ~~~

You need to use "localhost" as your serveraddress, others need to use your wan ip ( http://www.whatismyip.com )

Do you mean localhost as IP address or the IP adress of it?

Nevermind: It works for me now, but my friends say they can't enter it. What to do?

If you have a router, make sure you have forwarded the following ports to your LAN IP:

UDP 8767
TCP 14534
TCP 51234

What is that supposed to mean? Do they have to write it or do I have to check if I have it that way?

UDP 8767
TCP 14534
TCP 51234

The latter 2 are optional

You dont not need them forwarded
