Cant connect using WAN IP

[redeye03]

Hi. Have had my server for a few days now. Problem is no one can connect to it using my external IP address (WAN IP) or my internal IP.

I myself cannot connect using my own external IP address. Only way I can connect is if I use my IP4V address (internal IP) or the loopback IP 127.0.01.

Any suggestions on fixing?

I use Vista 32bit. I have forwarded the ports 8767 udp port,9987 UDP, 10011 TCP, 3033 TCP
to both my firewall and my router.

My router model is dynalink rta1025w.

Any help would be appreciated. Clan members are complaining that its not working...

right click > run as admin

Have tried that. I clicked run as admin on both client TS and server TS and still the same problem..

did you forward the ports correctly? To the correct IP?

You will only be able to connect to your own server by your LAN. You can't by using a WAN. So this is fine.

Ok...well if it is fine...then the next problem is that my friends cannot connect using my external IP (the one i get from sites like ipchicken.com). So now that Im fixed I need to get my friends on as well. I have given them both my internal and external IP to try but still they cannot connect.

Can you take a picture of your forward ports?
