Multiplayer problems

[lukynoo92]

Hi guys.

 

I have a problem. Me and my friends cannot play together on our server, because we cant see it. We played together in past, but it was harder and harder to find server. We tried tunngle, hamachi. It worked, but at now it is not functioning. I start server, turn off firewall, we are on the same lobby in tunngle/hamachi, but server is not visible for others. They start server, I cant see this server. I dont know why it is not working (in past it worked). It is any possibility to play dcs on server, that can run on some web hosting (payed servers, like minecraft servers, etc.) or what can I do for playing dcs with my friends on our server, with our missions, skins, planes... .

I am so sad because I dont know what to do.

Many thanks for your answers.

This may sound silly, if you are already aware, but do you have the server and your clients on the same DCS version?

We had a lot of updates to DCS, lately, the last yesterday.

If you didn't update the server, also, you can't see it because of a version mismatch.

[lukynoo92]

Yes. We have the same version of DCS

At now, when I start server, friend cant see me. But when He starts server, I see him, but when I try to connect, it writes Can´t connect. We have firewalls off, using tunngle and hamachi, but with no success

You need to enable port

Forwarding for 10308 on the router.

I tried it, but with no success.

Nope thats port trigger , not port forwarding

 

 

On my router it is

 

Go to Advanced -> NAT forwarding -> Virtual servers

 

Find your internal IP (from your computer hosting dcs)

 

Create a new rule TCP and UDP port 10308 and set it to your host PC ip

Or, put your local IP in the DMZ.. it saves you from a lot of trouble later.

edit: Don't forget to set a static IP on your server instead of DHCP.

NOT the best idea if it is a windows based PC, fully exposing it to the internet

is not the best idea if you dont want it possibly getting hacked

[lukynoo92]

I have virtual servers set too. But with no succes. I use tunngle ports, and for DCS too, but it is not working

[wash_hoban]

hmmmm

 

1. Try making sure dcs.exe is enabled in your windows firewall (are you using any other firewall software)

 

2. Is the server set to public ? (in the create multiplaer server bit of DCS)

[lukynoo92]

I use eset and I set dcs to exception (and I am turning off firewall when I want to play multiplayer) and yes I check public server. In past it was warking, but with time it is harder to play multiplayer with friends and at now it is impossible.

Did you change internet providers, or did your provider change to native IPv6 internally?

If you get 4-6NAT instead of true IPv4 it can cause trouble with the initial connection if it passes multiple provider networks.

[lukynoo92]

I have the same internet provider all the time. But I dont understand second part of your post
