only 1 LAN server?

Here SysOps can list their MultiPlayer server info and users can send feedback to their SysOps. Or just talk about the MultiPlayer servers they play on. This is not about MultiPlayer in general - please use the MultiPlayer Forum for that!

only 1 LAN server?

I use my server(s) as a MP mod development tool. I have one server that is publicly accessable to the internet running stable versions of my mods with forums attached so that the public can come and play and evaluate my mod. I have a secondary server that is private and only accessable to my LAN. Me and my brothers use this test server to find bugs in unstable versions of my mods. The problem is that when the test server is up and we look at the available LAN games, only one game shows up.

The public server and test server are run on completely two different computers.
-public server-
IP address: 192.168.0.4
server name: Yukanojo's Universe
-test server-
IP address: 192.168.0.5
server name: TEST SERVER

The problem is more than just the fact that only one shows up. Sometimes I see a game named, "TEST SERVER" but the IP address is 192.168.0.4 or even vice versa. I'll even get connection problems when that mix up happens. NOTE: this problem also happens when I browse internet games because the internet game broswer shows LAN games as well.

The test server has "make server accessable to the internet" UNCHECKED, whereas the main server has it checked.

Can anyone help me out? I just want both servers listed on my LAN seperately.

it's cause your using the Exact same multiplayer folder for each. The server cfg and the name file in each character folder are the links to your characters, so if used twice then both are listed in the same slot. So clear the multiplayer folder for the Test server and make new characters

Ok, I'll check it out when I get the chance. Not sure if that is the problem, but it is worth a shot.
