CTBlankenship Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 I've read hundreds of posts with regards to this persistent problem ... I'm still stumped. Here is what I've done Made sure that my router forwards the ports required by DCS Made sure my firewall is not blocking the traffic (I turned off Norton and Windows Firewall to take them out of the picture) Made sure all machines (server and client) are all on the same version of DCS Made sure all machines were using IPv4 with IPv6 disabled in Windows Made sure my internet provider doesn't use DS-lite to connect me with the internet Used http://www.canyouseeme.org to make sure the port 75.190.210.172:10308 can be seen ... it can. I entered the local IP of the machine into the MP Connect By IP option ... 192.168.1.xxx:10308 ... still cannot connect to the server. Made sure the Public check box on the server is selected. Made sure the server can be seen on My Server List (go to Profile then press the My Servers). The server comes up in the Local Web GUI user interface when the hyperlink is clicked on. Rebooted the server many times Not only do I not see the server in the MP dialog ... I cannot enter the server's IP (Connect By IP button) address to connect to the server either "Server Offline" or "Address Not Available". This was working swimmingly until the last update ... now ... not so much. Thank you, CT Noting much to see in the dcs.log file either ... === Log opened UTC 2021-09-29 21:06:45 2021-09-29 21:06:44.371 INFO DCS: Command line: "d:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS

epoch Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 Hi You say you forwarded the ports. Protocols too (UDP and TCP) ? Can you post your serversettings.lua? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTBlankenship Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Yes ... each port forwarding entry has the TCP/UDP option selected Thanks for wading in ... this is going to be a rough one I fear. Maybe I should re-install DCS Server ... the nuclear option. serverSettings.lua Intel I7-4770K @ 4.4GHz, 32GB RAM, EGVA GTX 1070 SC, Three ASUS PA248 24" monitors, 500 GB SSD, Saitek X-56 Throttle and Stick, TrackIR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution CTBlankenship Posted September 30, 2021 Author Solution Share Posted September 30, 2021 Problem solved ... blew everything away and reinstalled the DCS Server software from scratch ...
