Confused about "BoundToIP=" in FAQ

Quedari · #1 06-01-2007, 07:24

I have one friend that is unable to connect to my server, and I think this is the only thing I haven't been able to figure out how to try on my end. I recall once trying to edit the BoundToIP= and I was unsure what number I was actually supposed to enter, so I entered my own IP. Then I couldn't connect to my own server, so I put it back the way it was. Am I supposed to enter the exact numbers listed in that FAQ, or is there something else (my WAN IP, my LAN IP) that I'm supposed to enter there? I have all the listed ports open, the test site is able to recognize all of them.

If you have a static external (WAN IP), most people put that in if they are having problems

Ok, I entered my static (WAN) IP into the server.ini, as the FAQ says (and you said

). I shut down the server and my own client, saved the changes in the file, and restarted the server. I am now unable to log in to my own server with either my LAN IP or my WAN IP. Also, the "Administration" bar on my server icon is greyed out when I right click on it. I also had one of my regulars test to see if she could log in, and she couldn't either. The IP I used in the server.ini is the WAN IP that I gave out to all my game friends to log onto TS. It was the one the "Your IPs" listed with the little globe icon next to it. This IP has been the same since mid October when I moved here. I'm using a Linksys router with Comcast cable internet now. Previously I had a Netopia router/modem combo with Bellsouth DSL internet, and the one friend that can't connect now was able to connect back then. Any ideas?

edit: On a random thought, I figured I'd go try the connection test thing (http://ts2test.planetteamspeak.com/index.php). It was also unable to connect to any of the three ports, and I have all three open on my router.
