voiceofarma 24 Posted April 14, 2021 Hi there Me and my friend tried to host our PCs to join each other but neither me or him are unable to join, we create host, check UPNP and use correct IP of each others (we use google to find our current external IP, it's ok right?) but neither my or him server is not shown up in Arma 3 browser. I'm now trying to open ports on my router from 2302 to 2310 but there are other settings like LAN IP Address: there too and I'm not sure what to enter, so here is the screenshot, can you help what should I exactly enter here to finally achieve join my friend or he join me? thanks https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ra81B3pEYCRUAQljFwHnpqyEqefQ__5o/view?usp=sharing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CW4 Carrera 31 Posted April 14, 2021 You must also assign a static IP on your computer and forward the ports to that IP. Check https://portforward.com/ they have a very nice tool you can use for free to set the static IP and see which ports you need to forward for which games. They also have a port checker to make sure you did it correctly. Edit: The static IP is an internal one and differs from your external IP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
voiceofarma 24 Posted April 15, 2021 That didn't work, strange is even when I check whether port 80 is open or not the Port Forward Network Utilities says it's closed! then how can I open websites as port 80 is the common port for http, I also used https://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ and same happens it says all ports on my system is closed but that can't be right. any idea?

voiceofarma 24 Posted April 29, 2021 Ok fixed, I had to contact and ask my ISP for a static IP then to ask for opening those ports too! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
