While reading a lot of messages on this forum I have noticed that a many of members here have the same problem.
No it is not installing Teamspeak Client or the TS Server, although I had to spend several hours and even had to install Teamspeak Server twice because I was unable to login with the right ID and the right password.
A good tutorial would be to show the members in this forum how the port forwarding works and how and what they have or should do.
I am certain that by now a lot of people on the Internet use Cable or DSL. I have been using DSL for 2 years now and was not even aware that there was a router on it.
So it would be nice to show other people that are like me and saying that they can join their own server but that their friends can not.
In the Teamspeak2 manual, it is stated that port forwarding is not discussed, period. I must say that with all the people here having the same problem, I was seriously thinking that Teamspeak probably did this on purpose so that everyone would give up installing their own FREE Server and just go ahead and rent one.
If I was able to fix my problem....it was mainly because of a few members here on this forum, willing to spend their free time and effort to help out there where TeamSpeak apparently didn't.
I wrote a message to the Company that makes my OvisLink modem, asking them to tell me how to precede to port forward my External IP. I have not heard from them yet....and thanks to some help from this forum, I don't need them anymore.
So I am sure it would be nice for the Teamspeak Team to come up with a tutorial, which would help the frustrated “Server owners” to solve their problem: “I can join my server but nobody else can!"
Thank You.
And please be assured that this is not a critic (poor English) against Teamspeak. In the past I had many occasions to work with Teamspeak and I find it amazing to see when some 30 odd people from all over the world can chat together as if they where staying in the same room.
