Another Coop Connection Problem Thread

[Dawg35]

I've searched these threads, I've searched this problem on Reddit and using Google. But I can't find any help, as I have already done all the things I see suggested.

 

A friend and I have flown multiplayer coop missions successfully in IL2 for YEARS. Ports 28000/28100 are open on his router and mine. We both have static IP addresses. Firewall exceptions set for IL2 on his PC and mine. We have doubled check all of this today.

 

Then this morning I setup a coop server, exactly as I always have, and he can't even see it. He see's a few servers that others have up, but not mine.

 

He sets up a coop server on his end, I can't see it.

 

We didn't have the "#10019 can't connect..." message, I've seen that in the past (and it goes away on its own after a time) but that did not pop up at all this time. 

So we fired up DCS and flew that instead.

Is there a thread/page somewhere that I missed that has the "definitive" process for eliminating these persistent (based on how often this comes up) IL2 connection issues?

Thanks

Could it be one of you two has the setting 'Enable Mods' checked, and the other one has not?

We both have mods enabled and we identical mods installed, even down to installing them in the same order via JSGME.
