A few days ago I bought arma 2 and decided to start playing DayZ because it look really appealing to me, and it is it's great but my friend and I want to play at it at the same time at my house and whenever we try and connect to the same server the person who's playing gets disconnected and one fails to connect at all. I've tried many of the solutions that have already been given such as changing the port number to whatever i.e (-port=2305) and what happens then is I am stuck at the waiting for host screen forever and nothing happens, it does that on both computers when I change the port. If anyone can help me out here I would be really appreciative because I really want to play with my friend :(
