Ts server works for 24 hours then...

[Flamewires]

It gives all connected a timeout message, i have to restart it to make it work again. Any suggestions, im running the latest server version, latest client, win2k pro, 350kbit up/2000kbit down connection, running the server for about 5 guys. Ask for any other info needed. (im new to the forum)


Heres a piece form my server log:

I run a linksys router, and have port 8767 opened.

Seems to be a problem of your router or your computer.

No route to host means that there is no way for the TCP/IP stack to find a way to deliver the pakets to the destination. Normaly that is caused by an incorrect gateway entry in the network settings. If you have set your network settings to automatic then your router is maybe giving your computer incorrect data.
Try to set the ip and gateway manually and make sure that your router is the only DHCP server in the network (Maybe you have a windows or linux server running with active DHCP that is sending incorrect info). You can also try to find an upgrade for you router firmware.

ok, there is one setting, Client Lease Time, this is set to 0 hours, which is 1 day. The highest i can set that number to is equad to about 23 days. I dont know if it could be this setting, and if it is, how i would change it so i could keep the server up always.

[Dummer Sack]

I have never seen such an option.

Do you have the comercial version of the server?
Where is that setting? In the server.ini or in the web interface?

I assume he is talking about a router setting ?
If so, this sounds like a DHCP client lease time ??? Do you use DHCP in your LAN ?

@Flamewires: be aware that you misuse athis Teamspeak forum as a network forum ! So if you ask for help, be more specific (where is this setting you mention,....) otherwise it's a pain to help you !

[Flamewires]

Yes, im sorry I was not clear, that setting is on my router, I was making sure that my prob was not with the server app itself. If it is a network setting and it is not to be asked here, ial ask elsewhere. (remember, im a newbie here) Yes, I have DHCP enabled on my router, just this one computer is connected to the router, atm. Both my computer settings, and the router are set to automaticly obtain IP, im going to set them manually today to see if it solves the prob as the 1st poster said. I was just asking about that setting because i had no idea what it did and thought it might somehow be the cause to my probs. Sry if it was a stupid question, :)


(I'm a bit of a networking noobie, so if im saying something stupid, feel free to correct me and tell me what im saying wrong :( )

Try to configure th IP of the TS server manually. This is recommended anyway, because if DHCP gives the computer with the TS server a new IP you will have to update your port forwarding.

Most routers have an IP range where DHCP will not give any addresses.
E.g. 192.168.1.2 - 192.168.1.9 is not used by DHCP by default on DrayTek Vigor routers. Find out what IP range is not used by DHCP and give the server an IP in that range.

If you want to know what other values you have to use in the other fields do the following:

While still configured to automatic in the network porperties, open the command shell (cmd).
Type ipconfig /all there. Note down Netmask, Gateway and DNS. Use these values in manual configuration.

Thank You. The server is working perfectly since I entered the info for the router manually and moved it to 192.168.1.2. Thanks for all the help.
