Multihomed IP Address MultiPlayer Server List Issue
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

When running a server with several IP addresses on one NIC. I've found that despite setting '-ip= -port=' on the params you run into multiplayer server listing issues.
This seems linked to Multihomed IP Addresses.

The general public don't often know the ip/port thus rendering the server barren/empty.
I've also confirmed with several Game Service Providers that they'd also like this issue resolving. It's been apparent since ARMA 2 OA.

Legacy ID: 3058315517
Severity: None
Resolution: Fixed
Reproducibility: Always
Category: Server

Steps To Reproduce

(Windows server 2012) Network and Sharing Center> change adapter settings> right click (active NIC)>properties> select tcp/ipv4> properties > Advanced> Add IP Addresses.
When you have several IPs listed here (multihomed) the server does not show up in the MP Server browser or in standard filter searches.
Be sure to set -ip= to one of the multihomed/alternative ip addresses.
They only show up in remote where you state ip/port.
