obious Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Hi All, I'm currently trying to set up a dedicated server; I've got a DS instance running, set up port forwarding on my router and can see my DS instance in the list of available servers in the multiplayer window. Howver, whenever I try and connect to my dedicated server via DCS client thats running on the same machine as my DS by connecting directly to the external IP (and replacing the default 127.0.0.1:port) I get an 'Address Unavailable' error. I'm simply trying to test the external connectivity Interestingly enough, when I try to connect via selecting my DS via the list of available servers, my machines MAC address is auto-populated. Does anyone know if you can't connect to your locally running DS by means of your external IP?

Mgw24 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Why not just use the internal, LAN address? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks You can connect to your server through external connection only with a few modem/router devices and particular settings. It really depends on how the routing it's done in your device. With an aftermarket Mikrotik router I was able to setup test environment like that, with my ISP provided device wasn't possible.
