-GLT-Sarge 10 Posted August 3, 2010 Hi my brother is at home for holiday and brought his PC, we're both in the same Arma Clan (GLT). Each of us is using his own version of Arma2 OA, so no cracks or whatever. When we try to join the dedicated GLT Clan Server, one of us always fails to connect to the server. It depends, the first one who started Arma is the lucky one who can join. It makes no difference if Arma 2 gets restarted.....if my brother i.e. started Arma 2 first, closed it and I try to join, I still can't connect, my brother still can do. other way 'round its the same :( my router is a Speedport W700V. what can I do? thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Imperator[TFD] 444 Posted August 3, 2010 Have you got a network switch as well as the router or are you plugging directly into the router for both machines? It's generally a better idea to have a network switch (just a small one, they're cheap as) that you plug into the router and then have all your PC's just plug into that. Less hassle and no need to worry about custom configs on the router/PCs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-GLT-Sarge 10 Posted August 3, 2010 the technical specs of the router say it's also a 4-port switch http://www.telespiegel.de/dsl/speedport-w-700v.html I connect to it via WLAN, my brother uses LAN connection. maybe I have to connect via LAN as well because it says 4-port switch and it has 4 plugs on its backside? I may give this a try...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eem 1 Posted August 5, 2010 Not sure if this is it...but... If you are both internal to your local LAN/WLAN connecting through the same router/modem using NAT, then when you both try to connect to your clan's server, it could appear as though both connections are coming from the same IP Address (same computer).

-GLT-Sarge 10 Posted August 5, 2010 Hi the weird thing is that my brother and I can connect to open public servers (without mods of course) without any problems. we tried to connect to our server without mods, without Beta Patches, nothing worked. I asked our server admin if there are any settings which could prevent both my brother and me from joining, but yea......we are all pretty much clueless what the problem could be :( I'm not very skilled in router settings etc, I didn't forward any ports nor did I fiddel with any other settings in the router.

SlackAdjuster 0 Posted August 7, 2010 Make sure your both not using the same IP address as the server on the Lan SlackAdjuster Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
