Hello Eduardo_K20,

Please try out the following:

Add -port=25007 into your DayZ launch options on one of the PC's. To do this, you can right click on DayZ in Steam --> Properties --> Set Launch Options and enter "-port=25007" (without the quotation marks). The number doesn't really matter as long as it's different from the other computers which will use 2302, 2303, 2305 by default.

Alternatively, if you have access to the router settings and upnp is turned on, you can try turning it off, restarting the router then trying again.

Hello JStewart,

we tested it today at multiple servers on experimental and it works perfectly with this port.
Thanks for the quick help.
I hope it works on stable and in the future as well.

Best regards from Germany
