71st_AH Rob Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 You can't see a server on the same network that you are on, not since last fall. You also can't connect to it except by direct connection, use the IP for your server, the one that you port forward in your router settings.

71st_AH Rob Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 Glad that was helpful, I wish we had a more up to date manual for multi-player to avoid these questions coming up over and over. Still not sure if that was what the OP was after... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
450caveman Posted June 10, 2017 Author Share Posted June 10, 2017 Hi all sorry for the late response i have been away from my computer and my server has been down due to crap internet service DL rate of 3.2 and an UP of 0.017 super slow but just got NBN on yesterday and now have a DL of over 26mbps and an UP of 21mbps. Still having the same problem cant join my server in multi player on the net when we are both on the same home LAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also can't connect to it except by direct connection, use the IP for your server, the one that you port forward in your router settings. Ah, so you can't specify the local LAN IP as the server. I was wondering why the external IP of the router couldn't be overwritten. So basically, the server and client have to go out and and u-turn back in. And so I'll still need port forwarding for this to work then. If I want to have the server and client on the same LAN.

71st_AH Rob Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It would appear so, in the past you could run a server on a lan with other clients and in fact you only needed one license on the lan so you could have several people play on your lan using only your registers copy. Now I suppose you can't do that anymore and that may be why it has been changed, to force additional licenses to be used? Not sure, have not tried it at all, so just speculating there.

Actually DCS is now made IP version 6 aware so now you can see the local server if you enable IP 6 on your server. At least in 2.1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in 2.1.1 Interesting. I guess it supports IPv6 SLP to find one another. I'll play around. I've heard that hosting local LAN MP can significantly increase VR FPS, so just wanted to see for myself. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
