SuperKungFu Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I'm trying to host a private server between a friend and I so I can teach him the basics. It's strange, both of us can join up on a server (he's running on the steam version) and I'm running on the "regular" version. I even followed the steps listed in this video: but when I host a map he can never connect with the IP address. the map does have the planes set to clients but still can't connect, any suggestions?

HiJack Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Open 10308 on the hosters firewall and router, both tcp and udp. My DCS Tools: Quick Airfield information , Better trim with the X52 Pro , Tacview Glideslopes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 try to set the server as public and check if you can see each other (set a password anyway). do you have an IPv4 or does your internet provider only provide an IPv6 to you? i for example only get an IPv6, and i cannot host because of that, took me a while to find out....

SuperKungFu Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 How do I find out if the Internet provider only IPv6 or IPv4? Also just want to make sure it's ok for someone running on steam version to join up on my regular version right? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
