I'm running TS Server on computer2 but my mates and i cannot connect to it by my external ip, i only can connect by my local ip which is 192.168.0.1. I have all my firewalls switched off. Please help me.

did you open the server ports in the nat of computer1 ? so the server ports would be open to the net ? ports 8767 & 51234 udp cp1 is the router for pc2 so you need to open ports for the server to see the outside world & outside world to see pc 2 and your only ip to conect is 192.168.0.1 your mates will use your real world ip after you set ports open

Yes, you must use your internal ip for YOU to connect. Most routers to not allow people to use their external ip to "loop back" to their internal ip.

guys but what is the nat and how do i open my ports??? Please tell me coz im not very good at network stuff. All my firewalls are switched off so all the ports must be open, i think. Please help me in this guys.

NAT, Google is your friend, why write something down which is available in thousands of places ?
Your router manual will tell you how to setup the port forwarding. Simply forward (forward is NOT equal to open a port) the TS server port (default 8767) to your TS servers LAN IP in your router.

Thanx guldi. But i havent got a router i use my computer1 as my server for the internet to computer2(where I host the TS server), and my computer1 is connected to the internet through broadband modem 512k, i have no router, hub or switch. Both my computers are connected together through normal networkcard.

guys but where can i find NAT on my computer and how can i access it?? Im very sorry but im new in networking

[cjwoolf2009]

Well if you don't have a router, i wouldn't think you would have NAT. Do you have ***ALL*** firewalls disabled ?

[juran]

yes all my firewalls are desabled but it still doesn't work.

Computer1 is an internet server for computer2.

then your PC 1 is most surely doing NAT (using ICS or an other SW doing NAT ?). As you stated you use the IP 192.168.0.1 inside your LAN, you must have something doing Network Adress Translation as such an IP can not be used in the WWW.

You should consult the Help of ICS or the manual to the NAT SW you use. If you use ICS, you could do a search, I'm pretty sure you'll find some hints here.

Thanx guys. ive found how to do the port forwarding, but which port is external and which one is internal, please give me the number of the port i have to forward. Thanx very much guys.

8767 and 51234 both udp

Right your LAN coputers can connect through the LAN ip which 192.168.0.1
but make sure your router is allowing the port number for servger to pass through make sure theres no fire walls interrupting if they r the ports r ts server port number default 8767 & 51234, 8767 is your UDP and 51234 is TCP
after all that your internet ip not your LAN ip i.e 82.2.236.149:8767
thats the ip your mates should connect to (Internet IP)
