Running several games on one IP adress?

[BaD CrC]

Hi everyone,

 

I own 3 licences for BS2, 2 for A10C, 2 for Huey and 1 for CA on the same DCS account.

I would like for example to run one dedicated PC as a server and another one as a player when playing MP with my squad mates.

 

But whatever I try, there's only one PC at a time visible from the internet.

 

Is it possible to have several games running on one account with the same IP?

 

If not, any idea about what I should do?

 

Thanks.

Do you have a separate account for the server? You don't need modules to host.

The dedicated server only sees itself when you select LAN on the dropdown menu.

Yes.

 

I have three computers that all use the same account. Two are in my house on the LAN and the third, the server, is at my father-in-law's on a really fast Internet connection.

 

I can be logged in on all three simultaneously - the server only runs DCS World, and the two computers in my house have separate purchases of the DCS modules, with their own serial numbers.

 

If I want to, I can use one of the in-house computers as a server and folks can join in from the Internet or locally from the LAN.

OK. Thanks guys.

 

Need to investigate then why I got only one PC visible outside my LAN. Or maybe I should create another ED account to host a dedicated server.

I could be wrong, but I think you need different port numbers inside a LAN to find other computers.

 

Probably the 'PORT = 10309' in NetView.lua in 'Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config'

 

Or 'port = 10308,' in 'User/Saved Games/DCS/Config' network.cfg .
