I set up a server for my guild on TS using the tutorial guide, but so far my guild mates havent been able to get on it. or even find it for that matter. Can anyone help me to help them find it, please?

[Screech]

Did you follow the port forwarding guide? And are you giving them your public IP?

Europe from 46.28... unable to connect
check your router/modem settings, firewall on pc with teamspeak3server if any.

[bthyrion]

Thanks for checking. I opened the ports on the router and I have no firewall so I don't know what is blocking it. Any ideas?

Hello, I am having some slight issues with my TS3 server. I am able to connect to my server, however anyone outside my home network is unable to. My server is showing in the server list, but everytime someone attempts to connect their client gives the "unable to connect" error. Can anyone assist me?

The server name is D.M.M.M.2 Clan

Well, since I am using Bluehost I will tack on to this thread.

I have everything set up and am able to start the server but I cannot connect to it. When I try to connect I just get "Failed to connect to server". Here is a copy of my most recent log file from a complete rebuild of the server:

2012-03-03 05:30:02.023810|INFO    |ServerLibPriv |   | TeamSpeak 3 Server 3.0.2 (2012-02-29 05:39:32)

I thought maybe that the ports were not open, but I checked that using "nmap -sU -p 9987 67.20.106.247" and got the following output:

Nmap scan report for 67-20-106-247.bluehost.com (67.20.106.247)
Host is up (0.088s latency).
PORT     STATE         SERVICE
9987/udp open|filtered unknown

Nmap done: 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 1.49 seconds

Finally, I ran netstat -tunpl to see what was running on the server and got the following output (Things not related to TS are omitted):

Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address               Foreign Address             State       PID/Program name

Thoughts or suggestions?

Ok so i just setup my TS3 Server and I've run into a bit of a problem, it can only be accessed from people on my local network. I've tried browsing around but I can't seem to find a solution for this, anyone had this problem before or know the fix atleast?

I'm running windows 7 64-bit, and teamspeak 3-64 bit, but I seem to be the only one able to connect to my server. I have forwarded all the ports through the modem, checked the firewall for problems,,,,and my friend still can't get into my server.
I must be missing something but I don't know what.
Can anyone help?

[florian_fr40]

Hello

Do you provide the correct IP (your external IP) ?
It's really a modem or a router ?
Some model request a range port (9986 - 9988 instead 9987 - 9987)
Do you check the server log ?

[MayLawnA Fawn]

Well checked server log and there is nothing in it {empty} I did go through Portforward setup for a Static Ip that I need for the Pk5000 DSL modem and router, or so it's said, and then got the pfportchecker program to see if they were all working and they were, nothing there now. The only think I did't do was to use the IP in the right spot,,,no sure where it should be added.

--- Merged ---

I was also wondering if there is a way to check if the server is working without calling a friend have see if they can get in or not?
