    Hi, I've a problem running multiple dedicated servers on the same physical server.
    I've created 3 different profiles with different query and join ports.
    Then I've launched 3 dedicated (one on each mod) and here's the problem :

    - I can join normally on the Megane server
    - When I try to rejoin the FR3.5, I rejoin the Megane dedicated
    - It's impossible to rejoin the 1960's F1 server

    There's no problem if I use only one dedicated at the same time.
    The server is under Windows 2003 R2 SP2 Web Edition, up-to-date.
    Antivirus is Symantec Endpoint Protection 11.0.3

    If this is not answered by the time I go home I will post up what I did on mine.. Basically I used the same settings as rF1 in the properties Target line ie "C:\rFactor2\Dediserver.exe" 123.123.0.1:34567 and edited the multiplayer.ini file, where it says Wan Query Port, change this to match your port number ie 34567.

    Server 2 link, repeat with the different port number.

    This worked for me without problems, I have a number of servers running it without fail, I have seen other ways posted but this is how I did mine.

    i have copied the rf2 installation. but normaly only the core folder is necessary be copied. then i run the modmgr included in the core folder. (you have to install the mods again.) when you now start the dedicated server, he creates a userdate folder under the core. there you can change the ports in the multiplayer.ini. don't forget to include the dedicatedserver.exe into the windows firewall.
    that's how i have make 3 dedicated server work fine on my rootserver.
    tried it with different player profiles, but had the same problems as caterkiller.

    Take a look at this and tell me what I am missing. I have a fresh second install of RF2. I have set the Router and Firewall ports. I verified that the second install dedicated server will host and have logged onto and off of that server. I made a shortcut and made a Target that is similar to the one suggested, and modified the multiplayer.ini as shown above.
    Recap
    1. Fresh install including mods
    2. Firewall is set
    3. Router is set
    4. Multiplayer.ini is set
    "C:\Program Files\rFactor2B\Core\rFactor2 Dedicated.exe" 123.123.0.120:44298 (modified for question: outbound address.)

    Made this an FAQ as I've been asked about this a few times now. :)
