hello so i recently made a ts3 server and i am hosting it on my personal pc and IP address I was wondering how can I change the name of the server address because my friends cant connect to it only i can but using “localhost” i want to change it i have also registered the server nickname and cant use it only localhost please help thankyou

[Rikku]

You must use an External IP for the Server Nickname. You can not create a Server Nickname, when your Server is hosted only localy. If you want that the Server is online reacheble, just make Portforwarding in the Router. For a guide please take have a look here: [Solved] Hosting a TS3 Server at home - #12 by Rikku

Hello! I just got the new Teamspeak 5 and I hosted an server locally on my PC but my friends can’t join it, I have already tried port forwarding it but it doesn’t seem to work, any help?

[otoroot]

hi, there is multiple things to check like ports,firewall,maybe router. i will dm you

[SchnitzPlays]

My friends cannot connect to my TeamSpeak 3 server, I have forwarded all the required ports to run the server. When I use my public IP address (the long one) I can connect to my server but my friends cant.
Ports that are enabled:
UDP 9987
TCP 30033
TCP 10011
TCP10022
TCP 10090
TCP 10443
TCP 4144

Hey
Check this

You can't connect to a server? // Can not connect to the server

There are many reasons why a connection could not be made to desired server. Check that you really did entered the right address, IP or server nickname Make sure, that your server is not offline. Yes this happens sometimes. In that case ask a buddy to connect to the server or contact your server host/the admin. Try to connect to our test server first. Try the IP & Domain and for TS6 the invitation link Domain: voice.teamspeak.com ts-community IP: 148.113.198.70 79.137.98.37:9994 …

Hey all,

I recently decided to buy my own TS3 server to host for me and my friends, but it’s unfortunately not going as smooth as we had hoped.
When i connect with “localhost” i can join without issues, but when trying to join in any other way we get the message “Failed to connect to server”

I have been scouring any forum or helpful site i could find and done as explained to all to no use.

The following things is what i have tried:
Open port forward for 9987 UDP
Open port forward for 30033 TCP
Open port forward for 443 TCP
Made sure nothing is blocked in the firewall (dont have to much knowledge on firewall)
Enabled the ports shown on the photo to go through the firewall as inbound aswell as outbound rules

In this photo its show how my inbound rules are looking for the TS3 inbound rules

When my mates try to join the server they get the following message:
“no connections could be made because the targeted machine actively refused it”

From i can find about this message it’s got to do with either the firewall or the ports not being open

Ty for taking your time to read through this message, and for any help you can provide

[Gamer92000]

The screenshots you provided just show the Windows Firewall. If the PC the server is on is running behind a NATed router (basically any ISP provided one) you will need to do some port forwarding on that router. If it is a VPS or dedicated server you might need to open those ports in the settings of your provider.

If the public IP you have is not static a dyn DNS provider is recommended.

[Zanielz]

My router is not an ISP provided one, but i have still forwarded my IP to the following ports:
443 TCP
30033 TCP
9987 UDP

and i have just made a dyn DNS is you recommended, but we are still getting the same error messages

I’d like to remind of these posts.

And has anyone else outside your network even tried to connect? Not all router have the ability that you can use your external IP to connect back to your own network. You as the host machine always use your LAN or Local IP. The external IP is for the external user connections Which Ports have you opened? Please read. It’s normal that other clients can not use localhost when the server is not running on their local environment.

[Solved] Hosting a TS3 Server at home

Just for the case. Are you sure you send the right IP? You may use websites like www.whatismyip.com , www.myip.com to Open your router / firewall and check what setting is there for port 9987 or for the server in general. Read the manual for your router / firewall. Ask your ISP or try other applications where UDP is requiered. German is currently not part of this forum and i don’t think this would bring anything forward.

Users can connect to my ts3 server throught internet but not local with the same router. ive tried using my router ip neither my system ip where i run the server of ts3. ive unblocked ts3 server from firewall of my router. for short explaination. if i connect to my ts3 server that connects with the same router from my different device it would not let me in.

[TS.ChrisR]

Please use your LAN IP for devices in own network.

It’s known that devices do not allow or can use the external IP for connections in own network.

Im Getting this following Error Message when I want to start my Teamspeak Server;

Where is it? Do not see any error at all.

[JentexSkins]

2022-06-07 20:14:42.260189|WARNING |Accounting | |Unable to open licensekey.dat, falling back to limited functionality

[Cornelius]

This is nothing strange. If you don’t have a license, none will be loaded, but you’ll have 1 virtual server with 32 slots as “limited functionality”.

[JentexSkins]

Yes But when this isnt an error why I cant connect on it?

[Cornelius]

Is that all it says in your log? It doesn’t say that the server was stopped.

[JentexSkins]

yes thats all and the reason why Ive made this thread… because Ive no Idea what to do
