Multiplayer Server not visible in serverlist !!!

[Knight]

I have DCS World 1.5 (downloaded) + Flamming Cliffs 3 (bought) on my steam and the single player works very fine in my PC. The problem is whem i start a new server in Multiplayer it not appears on serverlist to my buddys goes in (host mp server). I saw in net there are many people with the same problem. There they discust about resolving this by router update, router wipe or oppening some router port...and many others things. Well... im not a technician and i know nothing about hardware or software fixes! All another multiplayer games i have in my Steam list works perfect when i host MP servers...the problem is only with DCS World...so, i download the game and bought flamming cliffs 3 to play with my friends on multiplayer and this is not working in DCS World! Its a wonderful game and i realy hope developers can made a update soon to fix it...im very sad about this

Have you created a MP account?

Some routers and firewalls don't support UPnP properly.
In these cases you need to configure port forwarding manually.

Not a big thing.

To host a MP game I needed to port forward 10308 to the hosting PC.

To do this I created a custom game profile in my BT HomeHub 2's Port Forwarding/Advanced settings page (found by right clicking on the router/device in windows/File Explorer/Network/Other Devices -> BT Home Hub 2.0 Media Gateway).

To play a private game that appears in the DCS server list, set the game as public with a password.

YMMV

Learn how to use and configure your hardware... You dont need to be a technician... Most people are not technicians, they have just taken their time to learn.

QFT, port forwarding is an essential skill for the internet gamer of today, and really not that complex.

if you think of your router as your street when traffic arrives it would need to know what house on the street to go to. If the ports are closed then the traffic never arrives to your street and keeps driving past.

then if you have 2 routers daisy chained one must be bridged to the other so that it merges the two networks because router 1 doesn't know what router 2 is doing and only one of them will have the correct address of your "house" by bridging a router you are effectively turning off its address translation and acting only as a switch.

ok my best at explaining it quickly in layman's terms.

This is not something for the developers to fix since the problem here is at your end. Just follow the suggestions above and you will be fine.

Please also note that in the link kazereal provided, there are instructions for the most common router models, sorted via manufacturer.

Make sure port is really the factor here, if you guys have version mismatch (release / beta / alpha) you will run into trouble.
