kk0425 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 You may need to do port forwarding on your router. Also, when you say you gave him your IP do you mean internal or external? Internal IP will have something like 192.168.xxx.xxx in most cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pajeezy Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Well, as I stated in my OP, on both of our computers, we opened up port 10308 on our routers. Also, I gave him my external IP, not the one beginning with 192.168 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KeyGirl Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 What brand of router u have? So we can look in manual fort settings to set up the ports. Most there are a rule is called "port forwarding". - is your (internal) ip set permanently in router? - are you visible from internet (ping, etc.)? - what kind of antivirus/firewall u use?

ENO Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) OP: I noticed you said you can join "public servers" just fine... so I have a few questions just to clarify: Do you still have public Server checked? Are you guys in the same house trying to play over LAN? (I doubt it since you said he doesn't need your internal IP) Are you trying to play on a server with the same license key? Depending on the answers to the above, a common troubleshooting step is to go into saved game / DCS / Config and delete the network.cfg file- possibly the vault file as well. Some just rename the whole DCS folder as a troubleshooting measure. When the game is restarted, the folder is recreated from scratch with current system settings. Most often with connection issues, however, just removing the network related files suffices. However... fill us in on the above clarifications if that troubleshooting doesn't work.

Pajeezy Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Lol why does everyone keep pointing me to port forwarding when I already stated in my OP that we've tried it? I've even enabled DMZ to no avail :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as your clarifications, we tried it with both Public Server checked and unchecked, we are not playing over LAN (Hence I'm guessing we use our external/static ip to connect) and we have separate license keys :/ Just performed your suggested action and we will see how that goes momentarily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
