2 computers, 1 network. HALP.

[Dash]

Hello all!

I'm having issues connecting my roommate to our milsim server since we share the same network.

I have the server port forwarded to start:2302 and end:2305 under my IP.

I did however look on ipchicken and saw that we shared the same ip (duh), so I changed his IPV4 to something different. We have 10.x.x.x and IPchicken showed 67.185.xx.xxx so I was a little confused.

I have already changed his port in the launch commands to something random like 2350 since we originally were port sharing and it is STILL not working.

I'm at a loss here.

He can't even see the server in the browser, nor can he connect on steam.

BUT, we can both connect to another friends server and play fine.

Please help!

Thanks!

change the ports on router settings for both pc to connect as in different port for different pc

Could you elaborate a bit? I already have the ports forwarded, do you mean change the ports of the individual PC's?

im able to join my own server(dedicated) with 2 different clients running on the same machine so this should work for you eventhough its on 2 different machines? in the config file for the server you should see kickDuplicate, set it to 0 like so. also for battleye ive had issues with it sometimes kicking the second client when joining the server and turning it off seems to be more reliable so experiement with it and see what works and what doesnt.

kickDuplicate = 0;
BattlEye = 0;

It's not a dedicated server, it's just a hosted one in multiplayer. I have like 5-6 friends that ♥♥♥♥ around with out custom milsim ♥♥♥♥.

Take a look at this Video. It may help you...

hmm if thats the case then i dont think you can. honestly your best bet may be to just host a dedicated server. to make life easy just use this config, name it ServerConfig.cfg

then just start the server and join it. once your in the server(in the game) just type #login 123 and you have control over what mission to play and everything just as if you started the server how you normally do. if you want to use mods then just create a .batch file and put this in it. after the ; in the mods line just add whichever other mods you want just the same as inidbi2 is there and thats all.

just change the 2nd pcs connection port

[Chuc]

Does your router support upnp? If it does make sure it is on.

If it doesn't then that is your problem. Upnp should split the 2 pc apart over the internet. Me and my wife have been gaming together for years and when I got a new router a few years back only one of us could play online in the same game. Took me awhile to figure out that the router didn't support upnp.

Hope that is all it is for you

you can't join a server when you both resolve to same internet IP address. you have to join it via LAN

I've done this in the arma launcher, changed it to something random like 2350 on host and server and it did nothing.

I'm just content on finding a workaround for this on its own without having to make a dedicated server. For example. I can host a server on the regular multiplayer and all my friends can join except my roommate since we share the same IP. I've changed his connection port, did everything online I could find and nothing has worked to get him on. I'm certain there is an answer somewhere.

try microsofts loopback adapter?

[pvt joker]

bro, solution is simple: your roommate should join it via LAN. all you need to do is to config your ip and his ip (internal, LAN ip) to something similar like yours will have 192.168.1.110, his should be 192.168.1.xx
you need to be on same node. thats all. then your bud can join it from LAN, while others join it via internet.
