Thanks for the reply - The DCS Server is only accessible to me over the WAN - it is not on the same subnet as myself (it's actually about 250 miles away). I'm really confused as to why this server isn't showing up on the public server lists because I (and several others) can connect to and play on it without any issues.

Hello everyone! First post here, so I am hoping it's a good one to start out with - I poked around a few days trying to find an answer to this question/problem, but haven't found it yet so here goes: I recently turned up a DCS Dedicated Server within a network that I have control over. The network has access to the internet via a BLOCK of public IP's (I think we have 14 public IP's within the subnet we own). I've setup port forwarding on the firewall that I manage, and everything works fine - I have the ports correctly forwarded, and multiple people can connect to the server from locations all over the world with the IP address and port information that I provide them, HOWEVER... The server isn't showing up on the public servers list, and I think it's because the "IP Address" of the server is hard-coded into the system (at least - it auto-populates, and there is no way for me to change it in the web GUI), and that IP address is not the same IP that the ports are forwarded to. I assume the DCS server or GUI is performing some kind of "what's my IP" thing, then auto-populating that field, but I need to enter the IP address myself since it's a few decimals higher than the "standard" IP that all of the internet traffic goes out for the location. To further explain, here's a brief description of the network scenario: (INTERNET) <----> (FIREWALL PUBLIC IP 22.10.172.240/28 - PORT FORWARDING SETUP FOR DCS SERVER FOR PUBLIC IP 22.10.172.246/32) <-- --> (Internal Network which houses the DCS Server Machine on a Private IP Address and Subnet) . I have changed the IP addresses to something generic, but they follow the same format and subnetting as the public IP's that I am actually using - I just didn't want to put my actual public IP's on a forum somewhere... I believe everything is setup correctly because the server works, I can connect to it, load maps, fly airplanes, and the whole shabang, I just can't see the server on the "Public Servers" list within DCS World. Any help would be greatly apprecaite! Thank you, and FLY SAFE! -TheGovernor
