Friends can't get on my server

[BFT_Mists]

(Picture at bottem)

I'm behind a router, so I did forward the ports. Also, opened ports on my firewall and my windows firewall.

I used a no-ip redirect, so its: bftclan.no-ip.org

Thats the exact thing my friends use to get on, but it doesn't work. I also tried the website that was in FAQ to check your ports, and none of those worked.

Help would be great.

EDIT (OLD): I just got it to work, because my ip changed to 192.168.1.105 and I didn't know but then 20 mins later, it went to 192.168.1.102 when I got on my laptop, and now its not working even after I changed it to 102.

Is your IP still 76.97.114.6?

[BFT_Mists]

Yup. Its still the same.

Wait, so your friends can but you cannot? Than you need to use your server's LAN IP. Some routers will not let you do anything with your external IP from behind that connection.

No, I can get in with 127.0.0.1 , but my friends can't get in either. I got it to work, but then after like 20 mins my IP changed from 192.168.1.105 to 192.168.1.102

Thats when I went back into my router and changed the 105 from 102.


(Like when I fixed my problem, it was because I had 101, then I figured out it was 105, then when I put it to 105, it changed to 102)

Ok, so the problem is probably that your DHCP is reassigning Private(IE: 192.168.0.102) an IP too often or rather it shouldn't be changed at all if you're hosting a server on it. So, your port for Teamspeak(IE: 8767) is forwarded to 192.168.0.105 but the DHCP on your home router keeps changing the IP. So what you need to do is go into your router's configuration and create a static IP for your server. Do you know how to do that? If not, try looking up a guide.

That?


**SUPER EDIT**

Ok I did what the guide said, but get a load of this.

I made set my IP back to 192.168.1.101 I got tired and a thought came back to me.. Maybe I could change 192.168.1.105 because thats what worked before.

AND IT WORKED! I don't know why, but is there any security hazards with that?
