No, it's port settings on your internet modem - assigned to the particular computer that is the A-10C server. But, your AV may *also* block the access - you may need to Alt-Tab out of A-10C to see a dialog box about allowing the program to go through to the internet.

Shadow -
Sorry about that... my whole house was down on Saturday as I was rearranging my systems and installing some new hardware. Then the wife goes and invites the neighbors for cocktails and my schedule went into a tumbler with ice.

Well I showed up back home now and noticed my computer has restarted... probably due to a wind storm that has left evidence of itself all over town.

Anyway, I'm going to go into my router and see if I can ensure those ports are open.

Okay- so in my router I went and stated that "port 10308 to port 10308 be open on both TCP and UDP" / forwarded to the IP address for this computer. I'm going to put the server back up again in hopes that someone will be able to see it!

I'm up and in TS3 on blue if anyone wants to come in for a flight.

Okay folks... need some help.

Like I said above I've done multiple levels of intervention here and I'm still not able to broadcast a server as checked out by WC. What I have done:

1) on my sisco router, I've gone into the game area and port forwarded 10308 to the ip my computer is reading through IPCONFIG in the dos prompt. Actually it was "from" port "to" port... and I said 10308 for both. Both TCP and UDP sides.

2) Excluded DCS A-10 through my AV (Eset AV).

What more could there be that is inhibitting my ability to serve?!

lots of info here -

I'm still going through this post...

I searched DCS A-10C Forum for 'cisco'

Well, the best I got from that was to upgrade the firmware on the Cisco internet router.

Panzertard makes some good comments about TCP & UDP -

And in another post someone said their's worked after rebooting the *router*.

eno - if you can, put up your server asap and that will give it about an hour until I can get home to see if it shows up... WC

Won't be able to for a bit. I'm currently in transit from the west coast to northern Alberta. It'll be a couple hours yet.

Just so the rest of you are up to speed- if anyone is waiting on news of a dedicated server... the one hiccup we've run into is that we can't seem to project / display the image of the game through logmein. We've discovered UltraVNC- which apparently does project the images that the free version of logmein doesn't appear to. I do have the question in with logmein as to whether or not the pro version does reproduce the game / server graphics... still waiting. The Pro version can stream full HD content so I can't imagine that this is beyond the realm of possibility but I'm not sure that HD is the limitation here.

Anyway- other than that I think we're set. Logmein wouldn't be such a big deal except that I work away from home a week at a time and there is concern that if the server goes down we'll be unable to get it going for a week at a time.

Hope all is well for everyone... we'll keep you posted.

Had a Late Night last night!

All ten slots were filled on my server - 8 A-10Cs and 2 Ka-50s - that was a good test.

Tonight we will test out Eno's server. There will likely be some start/stops until we get it going, but I anticipate that it won't take too long to get it running.


Things are firming up for a short-notice Fly In this weekend. If you are thinking about joining us then please get your SimHQ account registered now so you can get to the SimHQ TeamSpeak settings. If you wait for the weekend it may be too late to get a registration response.

Hope to see a bunch of you on-line starting Friday evening.


Slowhand my old friend great to fly with you again after so many years since Hyperlobby and LOMAC!


Wrecking Crew

I'm hoping to join WC, I signed up for TS on SimHQ the other day when I first tried connecting to you, do I have to do anything further to be able to try the fly in? I'm gonna try and join you tonight if you're online. I'm on Atlantic time, I think that puts me +2 hrs past Colorado.

Hi tomcat,
That should do it - you have already been into the DCS Multiplayer Lobby so your account there is set up, too.

We'll see you soon!
