Problem connecting to my server

[Hoggorm]

Hi,

 

I have DCS World installed on a laptop that I use at work. When I host a mission at work (connected to my works wifi) friends do not find my server in the server list. When at home however they do.

 

I've talked to the IT department at work and they say they have put no restrictions on internet access.

 

Since people are able to log on to my mission when I’m home, and not on my work wifi (even though there shall be no restrictions), can there be some settings on my laptop that restricts connections when on the work wifi? Firewall settings for example?

Did you open up port 10308 on your work wifi? I am not a computer guru, but that is what made it possible for me to host mp sessions on my network.

I wouldn't recommending hosting a DCS Server through WIFI. You're bound to have latency issues in abundance.

 

That being said:

-Check Laptop's firewall settings

-Check router's connection type to ISP Modem (Acess Point vs DHCP, etc)

-Check router's firewall

-Check router's traffic and port forwarding to ensure DCS traffic is being sent to your laptop's MAC/IP Address.

OK, thank you.

 

Since I do not have access to the router settings myself I guess I must talk to the IT departement again.
