I found a nice and easy way to get this to work on a LAN. I hope this help a lot of people as I struggled for a couple days not wanting to set up NAT loopback. After setting up the atlas server so your friends can see it. Do the following: Go to https://www.google.com/search?q=my+ip to get your external IP address Window Atlas Server Setup: 1. Go the start or run and type ncpa.cpl. Press enter. 2. Right click on your network interface card and choose properties. 3. Select TCP/IPv4 but DO NOT uncheck it! Click properties again. You should see the static IP address you set for your server. 4. Click advanced. At the top of the dialog box you will see your static IP address. 5. Click add and enter your external IP address with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Example 76.54.55.122. 6. Click add It should look like this but with your static and external IP address in place of my example IPs. 7. Click ok 8. Click ok 9. And finally click close Windows Desktop on sane LAN: 1. Do steps 1 – 4 * You may want to set up a static IP address for your personal computer. Not sure if this will work with a DHCP address. At the top of the dialog box you will see your static IP address. 2. Click add and enter an IP address within the same Subnet. Example: Server IP 75.54.55.122 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Desktop IP: 75.54.55.123 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 3. Do Previous steps 7 – 9 4. Start the game and it should now show up!
