Do you have a router?
did you forward the port?/allow it in the firewall
is the teamspeak server on your machine/pc.
-----------------------------------------------------
for me i have my home pc and a server next to me
i have a router which they connect to
my server ip is 192.168.1.x
so i foward the port 9987 for that ip but my m8's connect on the main ip
which is 82.30.38.xxx

for windows you can go to run type in there cmd hit enter then in the popup box type ipconfig /all
this will show your ip.
hope this helps.
