Yet another router based problem

[GrmRpr3000]

It seems lots of people have problems with routers and TS servers. And i'm one of them.

Ok so heres my setup:

Router
2 computers wired to the router
2 wireless

On one of the wired computers is the TS server.

Now I set it all up correctly, turned off the software firewall (norton) to make sure, set up port forwarding on my router (Belkin) using a guide I found on portforward.com and then messed around some more and even just plain disabled my routers firewall.

Yet STILL only people from inside the network can connect. I have had various people try to, most of the time it just says that the server doesn't exsist or isn't running TS, and one time it said that there was a socket error 1140 or something like that.

Pinging my ip however does get a reply (not sure if this would be the case normally or not just thought anything helps)

So what else can i do

Thanks for any help.

1) Have you gone through the FAQ ("no reply" "not all can connect",...) ?

2) Concerning the socket error, I bet you'll find lot of info by using the search function.

3) A ping only shows you if the IP interface is answering, but it will not tell you if the portforwarding was setup successfull. A good test is to let your buddies connect to other TS servers. If they are able to connect, the problem lies within your configuration (port forwarding, firewall,...).
