Server help: everyone looses connection from my dedicated server

[tw34k3d 0]

Hi all, hopefully someone might be able to shed some light on the strange behaviour my server is exhibiting.

I have a dedicated server running on a spare PC, it's on my local network, when i connect to it from my main PC all works perfectly, people join and we all have a good time, but the moment i disconnect from the server everybody else seems to loose connection from it, below is a selection of the output in the server monitor

12:45:14 BattlEye Server: Player #0 BravoEightThree disconnected

12:45:33 Player Mechgecko is losing connection

12:45:33 Player [67-й ПП]korobkin is losing connection

as you might have guessed my name was BravoEightThree, 19 seconds after i disconnect everyone else starts loosing connection, and 21 seconds after that everybody gets kicked.

i should point out that it's not only when i leave, even when i'm not on the server people cannot connect to it, below is a selection of the server monitor output to show what happens in this case

if it makes any difference to the diagnosis, i have a static IP with my ISP, i have also made the PC that the server is running on have a static IP on the local network, and have forwarded the port, and the port +1 and +3 (on the router) to the servers local IP, and also allowed arma2oaserver.exe full access in windows firewall

if any one can help with this issue it'd be greatly appreciated.

Please let me know if you need more information to help

Thanks.
