just set second server to something like 7790 (only be sure to have some ports free in between each server, at least 2, sine for default 7777 the port 7778 is also needed)
and add this to the NAT in your Router.
Details if needed here:

Thanks for that...but...
I only see the first server I start on the LAN tab.
What do these variables do:
BeaconPort
ServerBeaconPort
Thanks

If you're on the same network as your server, you may only see it in the LAN section anyway. Unreal tends to do that sometimes...not always though.
Just make sure "DoUplink" is true and also "DoBeacon" is true. As long as your ports are opened correctly, your server should show up fine. =)

I'm not sure why but I have that same issue too; I can only see one server in LAN.

Yes but there are 2 LAN servers and, like Matrix, I only see the first one that's started up in the LAN tab. I need to see both LAN servers at the same time. (they are hosted on the same machine with the same IP)
and what is the function of these?
BeaconPort
ServerBeaconPort
thanks

var() globalconfig int ServerBeaconPort; // Listen port
var() globalconfig int BeaconPort; // Reply port
So as it says, ServerBeaconPort is the port for Listening (the port that waits for a client connection) and the BeaconPort is the port for sending a Reply.

This is for LAN or WAN?

UDP 7775 and 7776 are used only for LAN games. You don't need to route them through a firewall.
Got of hyper.nl website via google - thanks

I'm not too sure but if I had to take a guess I'd say its for both.

You can change any ports to anything you want. It will only have an effect if the ports are open in your router though.
