About the best we can figure is that something is going on with the master server seeing two DCS connections from the same IP. We've tried getting Shavik to connect to the public IP and we've tried getting him to connect via the direct lan IP. He is getting the same connection timed out message no matter how we attempt to have him connect.
I believe there used to be an option to specifically search for LAN games in the client but that option has either disappeared or we simply cannot find it. If such an option still exists, does anyone out there know how we can enable it, or if it has been removed, what solution, if any, is there for the issue?
