Hi all, having just installed FGMS on a Ubunu 10.04LTS box my plans are to connect other local machines to it, for a closed multi-player server (demo for an open source day)
The issue i'm having is the first client that connects behaves fine. But any other machine that connects just doesn't want to know about the server. No connection errors, in terminal it looks like FGFS was launched without the multiplayer option.
Running the FGFS without my custom config file (See below) there was a message showing up when ther firs client connects saying connected clients = 1, max clients = 1
My custom config file doesn't want to show this message, nor log correctly.

And that's it.
Please help.
Hopefully helpful notes
----
All systems run 10.04
It does not matter which client runs first, second client won't connect.
FGMS version 0.10.8
Client FGFS version 1.9.1-1
***Update.*** 30.8.11
Have replicateed server to a non local environment, still will not connect to more than one client. Yet terminal reads
administrator@FGMS:~/fgms-0-x/src/server$ 30.08.2011 11:34:50 New LOCAL Client: callsig 116.251.188.152:38330 (Aircraft/c172p/Models/c172p.xml) current clients: 1 max: 1
Please advise.
