So as the title says. I have Announce set to false and when I run the server it even says it in the bottom that it is false but yet I still see it pop up in the server list on the client. Am I missing something here?
I want to hide the server (not have it list) so only my friends and I know the IP to get in. Thanks for any help.
You will always see your server on your local network on the list.
I know that but the problem is that it is in a DMZ. I should not see it. If I connect to it one time, will it just show up to me after that in the list? Or should it not be on the server list no matter what?
By this, do you mean an actual separated subnet, or the ‘exposed host’ most consumer gateway devices refer to as ‘DMZ’? The latter will still cause the local server list to show the server.
If it were advertised on a particular IP/port once, it’ll take ~30 minutes to an hour for the listing to expire.
No it is a higher end consumers router. That being said the server can not be pinged, nbt stat or contacted from internal lan by any method I have tried. All the other type of game servers I run on it are not able to be seen at all over lan.
I did connect to it via IP:port to start. It may not have fallen off as you said. But I did not expect to see it in the server list even after shutdown and start.
