Port problems?

[Wacker]

Okay, so well, it took me like 6 hours to forward all my ports and let them threw my firewall. Teamspeak was good and running for maybe...21-22 hours. I was tlaking with my friend, then all of a sudden it quits and sais connection times out. My little brother was on the other computer downloading music. Could this have effected the TS server? And what do we do to fix it? I cant connect no matter what now.

Any help would greatly be appreciated,

Sincerly,

if he took up to much bandwith yes , it could break your connection to a server

Well now I cant connect to the server again...I can on my router Ip address but then no one else can join...what do i do now? Is there anyway to fix it or do I just have to wait a little while until I can start the server again and connect?

Oh and by the way, Im talking about my TS server I created and im hosting.

I think i found my problem...but how Do I fix it?

A port can only be used by one program at a time! Think of how this rule interacts with NAT. Well you've only got one external ip address on your router. When computer 1 is using port 500, it is using port 500 on it's internal ip address. If you have set up a port forwarding rule for computer 1 and port 500, the external ip address's port 500 is also in use. This means that you can only use port 500 on one computer on the network at a time. Using port 500 on two computers at the same time would violate the one program rule, and your data would get messed up. Most routers require you to specify an internal ip address to forward ports to, just for this reason. Some do not, so be aware of this. Port Forwarding rules will only work for one computer at a time!

to answer the question (again): yes if he used too much bandwidth it could delay the answer packets to your friend's TS client and since TS uses UDP which has no "connection controll" => I'd say he might timeout


You should only connect to your server by using the LAN IP. If still doesn't work, restart the server / PC (however this shouldn't be necessary after each timeout)
