btw. with vB 3.5 we got the product installation feature so before asking if a product will work for you or not, simply make a db backup, install and and test it. If its not working remove the product with a single click again.

I did not use a firewall on the remote TS/MySQL database, yet the TCP queries apparently just did not get through (this was using a Linux version of the server, which was tested and shown to be working). Mystified. Worse yet, when trying to run Teamspeak on this remote Windows 2000 Server installation, upon attempting to start the TS server, I see the tray icon appear for a split second, then it disappears and the TS server will not load. I looked for an error log but it does not even generate one so I can't find out what the trouble is. When I change the server.ini file back to using SQLite, the TS server starts normally. My MySQL database and permissions, and file permissions are all "grant all" for the MySQL database user, the database itself works fine by itself. I'm getting aggravated with Teamspeak already, I cannot believe these flaws have not been fixed after so many years of TS being in existence now. Please help!!!!
