Weird problem regarding my server

[dd_dpa]

Ok I fowarded all my proper ports and gave ts server and client access through my firewalls. However I nor any of my friends cannot access my server. Now i know this has been asked before but here is the weird part i recently installed it about a week ago and used it 3 times the first time i had the wrong number for the computer ie 192.168.1.100 / 192.168.1.101 but that was my fault then it was working after i fixed it. The second time we tried to use it next day it did not work again ( i noticed my computer now switched overnight from 101 to 100 ( i didnt know it did it whenever it wanted to ) but i fixed that a 2nd time. now is the 3rd time i am still computer 100 all ports forward firewalls still alow TS to access the net and my IP has been the same everytime but my friends today cannot connect neither can I what can i do this time to fix it?

Give the server a stat ip, dhcp if your router has it. Makes sure that the port forwarding rules are correct as you go a new lan ip.

What firewall do you have?

I closed out of server and Client and restarted both and it now works. Don't know what the problem was I didnt change a thing.

Make sure to give the server a static to stop some of the problems that can occur.

ok so for the life of me i cannot figure this out i need to keep trying to connect to my server after numerous times it will eventually work. But I do not make any changes just quick connect make sure my info is correct then click join and repeat until it connects. any ideas? after a few times eventually iy lets me connect

If you use connect instead of quick connect, there is an option for auto reconnect.

Porblem Fixed?

Turns out I read somewhere that you need to Forward Port 8767 TCP as well as UDP. I only had UDP which I have only done in the past and seemed fine. Now it turns out i need it forarded on both for some reason so far i am 3-3 with both forwarded

You actually only do need the UDP as TS does not use the TCP. If it works, hey go with it.
