TeamSpeak over inet?

[acidrain]

Hi guys,

Does any one know if you can use teamspeak with internet.

I.E: I want to talk to a friend of mine who has inet at work. Is there a way he can connect to my server over the internet and if so how do i go about doing it.

Also for ineternational atm i use vc data card which has provides dynamic ips. Will i need a vpn to allow him to connect etc etc.

Thanks

You definitely can... I don't know many details atm, I use it for gaming, busy setting it up myself.

Step 1:
Set up a dynamic DNS service on your side so that when he connects he can connect to a hostname instead of you having to send him the IP address every time it changes.
Maybe you can explain how you're connecting to the Internet.

Step 2:
Forward the correct ports on your firewall/router so that he can connect to your server. It's normally called "port forwarding" or "virtual server" on routers.
TeamSpeak server ports

There's a tutorial on how to sign up at http://www.war3.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7988

You have to sign up once to the local site, then again (also on the local site) for a TS account, the one with random numbers on either side of your name.
