Co-op server problems. HELP!

[FSdude_The.Blex]

Hallo,

 

I have been playing DCS:BS since its release. Really wanted a good heli combat sim.

Also I wanted to do co-op missions with a friend since its release. We really looked forward to its release so we could do awesome heli combat missions together. We bought it the first day and now we have never been able to setup a coop mission server. We have been into BS again lately trying again but no good. Also with DCS:WH coming, we hope someone can help us.

 

Don't know if it is relevant but I have W7 Pro 64bit en my friend has WXP not sure what version. We both believe we have set up the ports correct. But when we make a mission we can't see each other in the server list???

This is a port checker tool.

Install it and try the port 10308.

 

To me, this still sounds like a port issue.

Thanks for the fast reply! Good I was looking for something to check your ports. Thanks I'll try it now.

[FSdude_The.Blex]

ow great thanks. The ports are not open at both our computers.

There are several DSL-Modem which have a built in router.

 

If you additionaly have a wireless router, you should first forward the ports from the DSL-Modem to the wireless router,

and from there to your PC.

 

I have exactly this setup and it works fine.

I host for friends of mine so all I do is put myself outside the DMZ on my router. I am just hooked with friends so no worry about being open as far as I am concerned.
