I have had an issue with running a UT3 server from my home. When I host an Internet game I cannot join the game from within my LAN but the game does show up in the Browser as an internet game. When I set it up as a LAN server I can join and play just fine. My issue is that I also run UT99 and UT2004 servers as internet servers on the same machine and I can join and play on them from the LAN while others can also join from the internet. UT3 seems to not allow this. I may be missing something but cannot seem to find out what it is. Is this game set up this way that online hosting is online hosting only and LAN is LAN only? I hope I am making myself clear on this.
To sum up:
Game set to host Internet = OK and others can see it in the browser and join it from online. Cannot join from LAN but can see server in browser. (Could join from LAN with UT99 & UT2004 with same setup)
Game set to host LAN = OK and I and others can see it in the browser and join it locally.
I also host other internet games like Quake 3 and COD and have no issue hosting internet games while playing locally at the same time. So this issue with UT3 is causing me to scratch my head. I searched around the internet a bit and didn't find info about this so far. Any hints or web links would be appreciated.
