Server is not in the list

[sea2sky]

A friend of mine can't see my server in the server list, but a DCS installed on my other PC can. I'm wondering what can cause it. Is it a known bug?

Have you opened the correct ports?

of course! Like I said - I've installed DCS (beta) on another machine, and I can see my server from there.

Your other machine is probably seeing the server troughs the LAN connection.

Basically you need to open the port on firewall ( and should be fine if other machine on your network can see it ) and on your modem/router you need to setup what is normally called "port forwarding" or "port mapping", basically you need to say to your modem that the dcs port is "assigned" to the specific machine running the server ( IP address )

It is all done, port forwarding (http://canyouseeme.org/ confirms that), firewall settings, static IP etc etc. I've been running the server for a long time, and others could use it. Also, I doubt the other machine "sees" it over LAN. The actual list of servers comes from the ED server, and it is only when you join a server you connect directly to a a certain machine. I'm guessing - what if the list filters out servers with a long PING's which might be a case, since I'm in Canada, and the other person is in Finland.

Is your friend running the same version of DCS as you?

Tell your friend to reset his router. I usually do, then the server list shows full.

If you have TCP/IP V.6 Enabled on your server and client on the same LAN, you see the server in the list for this reason! Normally, you don't see your own server in the list if you are on the sameLAN Network, that's why a lot of admin connect on their own server using "Connect by IP" and put the local IP address.
