View Full Version : Server on Local PC: Out of ideas
(I inadvertently posted this on the client forums earlier today...rushing off to work FTL.)
Like many, I'm having issues trying to get TS Server running on my local PC. I used to run it just fine on my old AT&T router, but when we switched to AT&T U-Verse, all of a sudden the Public IP wouldn't show up on the listing of IP addresses.
I have opened all the ports on the router as you can see here (http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq324/Darias/RouterOpenPorts.jpg) (I've blocked out my public IP in the image). Still, when I click on the icon to refresh the IPs, only my local IP shows up, not the public one.
I've gone to What's My IP Address? (http://www.whatsmyip.org/) to double check the address, and they match. I've gone into the server.ini file and edited the "BoundToIp1" line to the public IP. Nothing.
What am I missing? I've caught a couple posts about "NAT" being part of the problem, but I dont' see any help to say, "OK, you need to turn NAT off/on to fix it, and here's how."
Help appreciated in advance.
your answer is also there....

Do not use Bound to ip.
What is the model # of the router?
Did you bridge the router or forward the port?
Do you have a another router? I.e. linksys, d link?

I realized that, but I figured I should put this in the proper forum as it's a server question and not a client question.

BHKai, thanks to your reply (on both threads). I'm at work currently, so I can't check the router model#, but I'll do that when I get home.
Perhaps that's the problem with the port forwarding. Same router interface as with my old AT&T router (provided by them), but the available devices listed in the drop-down box don't populate the same. In the settings displayed in the image I linked (see the OP), the device listed I'm assuming is the router. Should I select LAN IP instead of the router? I believe I've tried switching TS's settings to the LAN address rather than on the router as the device but it didn't work.
Just as a note, I can connect to the server just fine on the LAN IP. It's just that no one outside can.
As for another router, I do have one, but I'm not familiar enough with this U-Verse router (which does the job for phone, internet, and TV) to turn off it's routing features and have it go through a 3rd party router.
If you need help with the forwarding setting just post screenshots of the portforwarding settings and make sure that if there is firewall for the router that it is also configured.

Here are the details for Editing the TeamSpeak application on the router. (http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq324/Darias/3EditApplication.jpg)
And here's the configuration screen for the firewall settings (http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq324/Darias/2EditFirewallSettings.jpg) (listing all the devices).
Also, the model of the router unit is 3800HGV-B.

Here's a detailed step by step instructions to set it up for TS for the 2 wire 3800hgv-b

Hope that helps
Just make sure that the pc that you are using to host is the only one with "TS app"
No dice. I followed the guide above and split each port into a separate application. Here is how the list looks now (http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq324/Darias/4FirewallDetailsPostReconfig.jpg), pointed at my PC specifically rather than what I assume is the router itself (the OHNSF... device listed in the above images).
Unfortunately, I still only see my LAN address...no WAN (http://i460.photobucket.com/albums/qq324/Darias/5MyIPs.jpg). Next ideas?
Any firewalls on your PC?
Not that I can tell. Windows Firewall is turned off. I don't think there is any other firewall running.
Thinking I'm maybe a complete idiot, I did an idiot's search to see if a firewall is up, and I ran across a link to something called ShieldsUp! (https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2) which will scan ports to see if they're open. I think we found our problem: 8767 shows as "Stealth"
Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very nice.
Again, Windows Firewall is turned off (and monitoring is off as well). I think I've linked enough images about opening a port. Am I finally at a point where I'm just gonna have to call U-Verse and have them help me open the port?

Have you tried turning your Nat on and off? I know you mentioned it and you can try it, and if it works then yay, if not then you can turn it back on. I don't have your router so i don't can't snoop around and look at the settings but i agree that it's a setting somewhere in your new router.

Is TS the only application you are having issues with? Yeah if opening the NAT doesn't work just call AT&T support they should be able to assist you with this as it's their device, they "Should" know how to open the ports, etc.. so it works.
Now we get to the thick of it: How and where do I turn of the NAT? Since the beginning of this mess, all the searches said, "It could be NAT", but I haven't seen how / where to turn that off.
I called AT&T tech support the day of my last post. First off-shore guy parroted back everything I said, but I know he didn't understand what I was saying. Then, I got bumped up to the real jockey. He put the machine in DMZ+ mode and still the ports wouldn't open.
It was around here I made the fatal mistake: I gave too much info. I said that around the time we had gotten the U-Verse router, I also installed SP3 for XP. The gates slammed shut, and he said to uninstall SP3. I haven't gotten around to doing that nightmare. I don't see it as being that pretty.
Anyone think there's legitimacy to that being the issue?
One side item of note is that when I went to ShieldsUp, one of the ports for WoW is also showing as completely stealthed to their port probe. It could explain why WoW is laggy as hell for me, although that also coincided with the expansion coming out, so can't tell there either.
Gah! There are too many damn variables in this mess!
Anyone think there's legitimacy to that being the issue?
Here's my thing with service packs, I hate them and always will. A very quick search on google for problems with u-verse and service pack 3 suggests that other people haven't complained about it. Again, very quick search. It's possible that the coding or changes made in sp3 could potentially cause problems with your router. However, i don't think so. Is it a legitimate statement? One could argue both sides. However, i agree that the hassle it can cause is rather annoying and frustrating and generally not worth it. Since there are still possible solutions out there, i'd wait before taking on that feat.
Another possibility is that perhaps your router got to hot and exploded.
When you talked to the guys, did you ask them about the NAT?
If you put your router in DMZ+ mode, and the ports still weren't open, that tells me that it's not the router but perhaps the U-verse or some firewall.
I'm not sure how this whole U-verse thing works, but is there anyway you can connect directly from your computer to the modem without anything? I think i rambled long enough.
I do not think that it is SP3. The damn tech support for large companies are the worst. I had a problem with my HP touchscreen not recognizing touch but it would recognize my pen, and they wanted me to re-install the whole damn computer. I did a little research and was able to find out that all I need to do was to delay the wacom service a little.
So sheildsup shows that there are some open ports?
When you talked to the guys, did you ask them about the NAT?
I did. He said that's not something I can get to on my end, and that he had to do it remotely. He never made any statements to the effect of, "I turned NAT off," but instead flipped it to DMZ+ mode. I found that odd, but went along with it.
If you put your router in DMZ+ mode, and the ports still weren't open, that tells me that it's not the router but perhaps the U-verse or some firewall.
That's something I'm wondering. Is there any way to see what firewall services might be running besides the Windows firewall? According to the normal console, it's disabled, but I'm wondering if some other service out there could be blocking it.

I'm not sure. A friend recently got U-Verse and told them he'd use his own router...I'm going to check with him to see how he did that.

dunno first
did u tryed stuff like http://ts2test.planetteamspeak.com/?page=step1 ?? u know that external IP never have to show up if that router/modem u have provide u LAN to pc where u have TSserver.
second on other picture I saw wireless icon of an network connection.... is urs information complete ??? from what u said I assumed some USB connection to modem or anything which could made the problem.
if its as I said at 1. u propably not gonna see external IP in there anyway. but if it will be working u will be able to connect on it from internet.
!! from internet not from urs pc or some other pc connected to that router with internet IP adress pls
thats anyway why u should perform ts2test
if u got no problem with it .... remote ?? I would try...

Do you have anti-virus protection software? Like Eset nod32, Norton Anti-Virus, McCafree, ect ect. A lot of times now a days anti-virus programs are in a package. They'll have a 'complete' internet security featuring anti-virus, spam blockers, firewall and so forth.
Where i'm getting at is do you have one of those? If not, i'd try take U-verse out of the equation.
