Join fs on same IP address

Post by marc2990 »

I belong to a flightsim club. Online flying is until now don via IVAO or FSHost server.
We would now like to try out JoinFS in our nex real live club meetings. We are then connected by LAN or Wifi to the same internet modem and thus have the same IP address.
Last Sunday it did not work out.
Is there a solution? (and if possible in simple not to technical words?)
Thank you.

Hi Marcel,

If you want to have multiple clients behind the same router then you'll need to configure your router for port forwarding on multiple ports. Have each port directed to a different PC and set the port number on JoinFS settings on each PC.

You may find that you have problems seeing the other person on the same network, but this is something I need to do a bit more work on.

Hope that helps,
Peter
