Hi chaps,
I have successfully set up an IL2 server, to which I can connect and play from other computers in my home network.
However, I cant do so from the PC the server is running on. I know its not the firewall, the problem remains if I switch it off. Also, I have e.g. been able to communicate on that PC from one terminal window to another one using ncat on the udp port I specified in my server confs.ini.
When the server is running and I contact it via ncat on udp 21000, sending some senseless character, it tells me that an open connection was forcibly closed by the remote server, which makes me think the server is receiving connections from localhost.
I am running out of ideas and would greatly appreciate any hint....
