This is a file called ''"ws2_32.dll"'' to put in the same ''arma.exe'' directory, and get enabled using ''"-nocdkey"'' and ''"-host"'' arguments on the command line.
It will intercept the host name resolution for gamespy service, returning a "not found" answer. This is the same effect you can obtain disconnecting the network cable.

nocdkey here doesn't mean you can play illegal copies with this plugin!
This plugin simulate what you usually can do just dropping your connection to the internet.

This is a file called "ws2_32.dll" to put in the same arma.exe directory, and get enabled using "-nocdkey" and "-host" arguments on the command line. It will intercept the host name resolution for gamespy service, returning a "not found" answer. This is the same effect you can obtain disconnecting the network cable.

How to run 2 ArmAs on the same PC

Need a crafted ws2_32.dll, which returns WSAHOST_NOT_FOUND in gethostbyname() for armedass.master.gamespy.com or armedass.available.gamespy.com if -nokey is given on the server (-host) command line.

Editor/Server:
\ArmA\arma.exe -window -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -host -nokey

Client:
\ArmA\arma.exe -window -nosplash -world=empty -nopause -connect=localhost
