Server not found....

[[42nd]CPT-Bulldog]

I decided to start my own server for me and my friends. But, no one can access it because the IP is wrong. The weblist will show an IP that is not valid, and when they try to connect, it says the server doesn't exist. Then when i tell them to quick connect with the right password and IP, it will again say that the server is off line.

I do have a router, cable, and i think i have a static IP.


Any help would be nice!

i get a no reply from both.. did you set up port fowarding ? and do you have ts allowed in zone alarm ?

I also have Zone Labs the none professional version.

I have the same version as you...to allow TS just go to Program Control and hit the Programs tab at the top then find you TS files and left click on them and hit allow for all 4 of the ?'s. That will solve your zonealarms problem. As for port fowarding I would read the "How to use TS behind a router" thread to fix that...i read it and understood it and had my server up and running that day. If you want the exact details i'll let m&m's handle that one.
