Can't connect to the Second PC server
-
I and my friend were trying to setup BMS Dedicated Server.
He has a sub-pc which spec is[OS] Windows 10 Home
[CPU] Intel i3 2120T 2.6GHz
[MEM] 4GB * 2 = 8GB
[VGA] Onboard Intel HD Graphics
[NIC] Qualcomm Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)
[HDD] 500GBHe opened port TDC/UDP 2934-2935 & 9987-9989, DMZ enabled, Disabled Windows Firewall, Disabled Security Soft.
Using Falcon BMS Windows Dedicated Server 20151125.
However, I never succeeded to join his server on BMS4.33U1(Sure We both use 4.33U1) even though I could join his main-PC’s BMS4.33U1 server.
I receive a message “Failed to connect the server” every time I commit to join the server.Could anyone guess what is causing the trouble?

I assume your friend can connect with no trouble, right?
Have you got exactly the same setup than him and the server?
I mean 32/64 bit version running, theater selected, configuration options set etc.
Check especially for anti-cheat protection enabled in server’s falcon bms.cfg and try disabling it:“The host can activate the anti-cheat code with the falcon bms.cfg set g_bRequireSameAcdataMP option. The option can be set to 1 (true) and 0 (false). By default the option is set to 0. When enabled the host compares contents of the MISDATA and ACDATA folders and will refuse connection if they are not the same.” (BMS Manual, p. 84)

After disabling non-server PC’s port solved the problem. Thx.

Glad to know your problem is solved, but I can’t understand what exactly you disabled and where: can you give some more details please?

i’m assuming he disabled the port forwarding to the client pc in the same network… forwarding the same port to multiple pc’s while those ports are in use will have the router go a bit wonky and priorities one over the other to avoid conflicts

I think you’re right, and it makes sense: you certainly cannot forward the same port to two different hosts (I was assuming it was not like this, indeed… my fault, when you work with networking everyday you tend to take the basics for granted ).

Yes, That was what has causing our problem.
