I am having a problem connecting to my teamspeak server externally. I have 3 machines connected to a router, the DHCP address of the machine it is running on is 192.168.2.167. When I connect to that internal address through teamspeak, it connects fine (which is fine and dandy, says the server is up and running, except thats internally and nobody outside my home network can connect to it). When I try to connect to it through my WAN IP address, I get nothing.
The difficult part of this problem for me is when I try to ping my WAN IP address, i get no response (time outs), but when I ping my Default gateway, I do get a response. My WAN IP is xxx.xxx.xxx.238, my default gateway is xxx.xxx.xxx.237. I am not sure the difference between the two so I dont know if that successful ping was my own machine or someone elses machine using the same ISP as me.
I have port forwarding set up correctly (from what I can tell - cant test it till I find my network) on my hardware firewall (built into router) and have windows firewall on the server machine disabled. I have also tried setting up my local machine (..xxx.167) on a DMZ. There is an option to block ICMP commands, but I dont have that checked.
My major problem is why cant my network be seen?
