LadamirPutin Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 I recently came back to DCS after taking a hiatus shortly after the viper release. Since coming back, I have been unable to access any DCS server at all. Nothing shows up on the server browser, I can't connect via direct, and after trying to direct connect, upon trying to refresh the server list, I get the message "Server Offline." I've tried fresh install of the game, repairing via steam, DNS flush, windows update, port forwarding. I'm at a loss. Attached is my Wireshark network diagnostic, and my latest DCS .log filedcs.log.zip - i7-6800K @ 4.0Ghz - Strix X99 Mobo - Strix GTX1080G8 - 32GB 2667Mhz DDR4
silverdevil Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 it can be connectivity to the MP servers. you need not have any port forwarding to reach those servers. you would need to have port forwarding if you were hosting a server. also it may be that no servers are running the version you are. maybe the Windows or add on AV firewall? just reaching here. also found this. https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/8sye25/some_servers_refuse_to_show_on_server_list/ AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

However the issue persisted before the reinstall Edited July 22, 2020 by LadamirPutin - i7-6800K @ 4.0Ghz - Strix X99 Mobo - Strix GTX1080G8 - 32GB 2667Mhz DDR4
silverdevil Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 can you temporarily disable the firewall to test? only a test but can you host your own server?

LadamirPutin Posted July 22, 2020 Author Posted July 22, 2020 I try connecting, but it doesn't even attempt to. I get no error, just nothing. I can ping the server via CMD and get a response, but DCS doesn't see or connect to it - i7-6800K @ 4.0Ghz - Strix X99 Mobo - Strix GTX1080G8 - 32GB 2667Mhz DDR4

ED Team USSR_Rik Posted July 22, 2020 ED Team Posted July 22, 2020 It's very strange issue, we still can't reproduce. I suspect as a possible reasons some software keeps socket. Or some net service doesn't started. Men may keep a sort of level of good, but no man has ever been able to keep on one level of evil. That road goes down and down.

silverdevil Posted July 22, 2020 Posted July 22, 2020 interesting enough, one of the first captures shows 51 3.471389 fe80::528:9645:2b1e:92ff ff02::1 UDP 91 58128 → 10308 Len=29 but it looks to me that digitalcombatsimulator.com does not resolve an IPv6 address whereas google.com does. perhaps this is the issue. nslookup google.com Server: Fios_Quantum_Gateway.fios-router.home Address: 192.168.1.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: google.com Addresses: 2607:f8b0:4004:808::200e 172.217.9.206 nslookup digitalcombatsimulator.com Server: Fios_Quantum_Gateway.fios-router.home Address: 192.168.1.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: digitalcombatsimulator.com Address: 91.134.1.104 seems that IPv6 is not routing to digitalcombatsimulator.com AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

Arawindor Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Thank you so much! I've solved enabling the IPv6 protocol (TCP/IPv6) inside the ethernet controller properties, despite my ISP doesn't provide me an IPv6 address.
