Hosting mp, Client floating, Random disconnection,

[dudeman17]

I am having an issue I've been trying to wrap my head around for about four hours now with no luck.

 

The issue is when I am hosting a server on my network whether it be the laptop I use to run the dedicated server or my personal PC I'm using to run DCS. when the mission loads I spawn in and wait for my wingman to join (a client) upon him spawning in his plane is visible, however, it does not move. It doesn't even take on physics. just sits there with shocks fully extended. If he closes the canopy I can't see. if he moves I don't see it. yet if he applies a loadout I see it placed onto his jet. After a period of about 5 to 15 minutes, he gets disconnected saying either ping limit exceeded or connection timed out.

 

On his screen everything is working fine, I can move and it all works. (up until the DC)

 

As a sanity measure, we connected to a different server that neither of us was hosting. On that server, we could both see each other fine and there were no issues.

 

So, What's the issue? does anyone have any ideas or suggestions for me?

 

Much appreciated!

Well. I finally figured out my issue. It was the firmware in my router. Not a single clue how that works but after doing a update everything is working again.
