DCS Multiplayer collapses hole internet connection

[exory]

Hello, 

I am facing an issue when I want to play MP. Really rare time its working flawlessly... When I join a server and it fails connecting. After it gets really strange. First, I noticed that I lost internet connection which was there before I tried connecting to a random MP server. After waiting like 5-10min it might comes back, hopefully. Then I could retry which leads to the same issue of my internet connection is collapsing. 

As I am not living alone, I can say, that its only my computer which has no internet connection anymore, which is really strange and make me think there is going on something suspicious. The WLAN on my smartphone is working too. On top of that I noticed that websites I have opened before i.e. youtube is still working. So thats maybe a hint to dns problems. But again... the rest of my devices have normal internet connection, which tells me that something is going on with DCS on my computer. Anyone faced this problem or maybe knows whats happening ?

The error code in my dcs.log is -10060. Can someone tell me what that code is telling me? 


This is the log entry of dcs.log when i try to connect to a server. (I shutdown after 2 tries because of "..Screen: MainMenu")

10060 is a connection timeout, which can be because of your firewall settings for DCS.

Thank you for your answer.

Well, that makes no sense to me because sometimes I am able to connect. So I dont see the problem on my firewall, but the responding part is interesting..

I got it running after posting here. It was actually the SRS Version. I was using 2.0.8.3 instead of the newest 2.0.8.4. 


But why my hole internet connection collapses after a try with the wrong SRS Version?
