Yep, that's fixed it. I had re-run the updater twice today and it claimed it was fine both times - I was installing the server for the first time yesterday while the update dropped, it must've gotten out of sync with itself at some point during that. No wonder an hour or two of searching the forums didn't turn up a solution! In the end I had to re-run the repair twice (after the first time, DCS complained that there were missing files on launch). Many thanks for the help.

Server: (though interestingly the log file claims 2022-02-08 12:40:33.925 INFO APP: DCS/2.7.10.19402 (x86_64; Windows NT 10.0.20348)) Client: I've tried to connect via local IP + port, local IP without port, hostname + port, hostname without port, no joy. I did wonder about routing, but the fact that I can connect to SRS and LotATC on the same machine makes me doubt that that's the issue. I am also able to telnet to the server from my PC, which results in the following logfile entries: 2022-02-08 13:29:46.171 INFO NET: accepting connection from [IP]:58122 2022-02-08 13:29:46.174 INFO NET: adding client[2] 2022-02-08 13:29:48.190 INFO NET: disconnecting client[2]: Client connect timeout 2022-02-08 13:29:48.206 INFO NET: remove: client[2] Though interestingly the IP listed in there is not the IP of my desktop PC, but instead the IP of the gateway that connects the subnet my desktop IP is on to the subnet my server IP is on. Not sure if that would make any difference (and as noted, it doesn't seem to make a difference for SRS or LotATC). My gut feeling is it's something about the way DCS decides whether a server is up and joinable or not, since routing for other apps seems OK - that's why I tested disabling IPv6 on the autoexec just in case, but no joy.

Hi all, As per title really, I have a DCS server running on a machine locally on Windows Server 2022. Additionally running are DCS SRS and LotATC. From my PC I am able to connect to the DCS SRS and LotATC instances running on the Windows Server, but attempting to connect to the DCS Server through DCS shows "Server offline". The server appears in the serverlist (on the DCS website and for other public users). Users connecting via public IP can join, but I am unable to join via local IP, public IP, or hostname. I have tried disabling the firewall on the Windows Server entirely, there are no blocked packets according to my router firewall (and I would expect not to be able to connect to SRS or LotATC, or RDP for that matter, if traffic was being blocked anyhow), I have disabled IPv6 in the DCS server's autoexec in case that was the issue, but all to no avail. Anyone else had a similar problem and fixed it? Cheers

Nice to have feedback from someone who's flown the bird and seems willing (so far anyway!) to put time into working out where any discrepancies are. Obviously ED/Belsimtek are gonna run any comments past their SME first anyway, so not sure why all the ire in this thread. Cheers for that second video too, very useful.

Would you mind sharing your measurements for this?
