Failed to connect to server, failed to resolve host name. NO servers work.

[DJ45X]

Hello, for the last 2 weeks I have not been able to connect to ANY TS3 servers at any point in time. All my ports are open, firewall allows TS3, and AV allows TS3. I can't even connect to the public voice.teamspeak.com server. I have already did a dns flush. I have also used these commands as well- ipconfig /release, ipconfig /renew, ipconfig /flushdns. Rebooted my computer. Still doesn't work. I even deleted everything on my machine and completely re-installed Win 7. I am truly stumped on this. I really don't know what to do at this point. If anyone can help

can you ping voice.teamspeak.com?? (start > run > type "cmd" > type "ping voice.teamspeak.com")

also in cmd try "nslookup voice.teamspeak.com" and share the result

Ping failed. Here is the nslookup results:


C:\Users\rich>nslookup voice.teamspeak.com
DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Server: UnKnown

then there is something wrong with your system DNS check your connection / router DNS settings

All my settings are the way they should be...

[Ahmed]

try "nslookup voice.teamspeak.com 8.8.8.8"

[DJ45X]

C:\Users\rich>nslookup voice.teamspeak.com 8.8.8.8
Server: google-public-dns-a.google.com
Address: 8.8.8.8

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: voice.teamspeak.com
Address: 194.97.114.2

[Ahmed]

see using google dns(8.8.8.8) works but not your default dns

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/w...#1TC=windows-7

set the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 (both are google public dns servers)

then test teamspeak

[DJ45X]

ok, i changed to google's DNS and restarted my computer. now ts3 doesn't say 'failed to resolve host name'.... now it says 'failed to connect.' and it says that for any server i try to connect to. including TS3's public server.

[Ahmed]

dose ping and nslookup(without the 8.8.8.8) work now?

tried to use direct ip(194.97.114.2) to connect in ts ?

[DJ45X]

ping still times out. here is new nslookup result:

C:\Users\rich>nslookup voice.teamspeak.com
Server: google-public-dns-b.google.com
Address: 8.8.4.4

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: voice.teamspeak.com
Address: 194.97.114.2


when i do direct connect with IP, it says failed to connect to server.

[Ahmed]

if ping is not working then obviously there's something wrong with the connection not teamspeak

maybe some firewall or security program or even restricted router or ISP

[DJ45X]

its not possible for a firewall or router to be blocking anything cuz its disabled and on the DMZ respectively. thanks for trying though. i'll have to have a chat with my ISP then. cheers.
