Hosting server on a home PC
« on: Friday, December 18, 2015, 05:27:35 AM »
Hey

It's possible to host an America's Army server on a home PC? In other games like call of duty when I created a server it was visible for other players and they could join him without any problems. Now I'm trying to start an America's Army server via AA Server Manager, but in console are some warnings, look screenshoot:

When I start assist player I see my server, auth is OK, but there is no ping and in server info I see that server is offline, any ideas what I need to do, to start my server? Ports 1716 and 1717 are open in my router settings. Please help :)

There is a wiki article about starting a server:

However, it sounds like your problem might have something to do with NAT loopback. Especially if other people can join your server (have you tried that?).

Hmm I never saw this NAT loopback in my router settings, in NAT is only DMZ, don't know what's that and virtual server when I can add ports. TP-LINK TD-8901G

On other games I can be a hoster and other players had no problem to join my server. In AA it's my first try now to startup a server

In nat settings port forwarding to your internal ip.
