Hello,

 

I can connect to VATSIM but,

 

1 Eventually the other players don't work and their aircraft end up coasting.

I can disconnect and reconnect to fix this some times.

 

2 I can't quit FS9 multiplayer. I end up having to end-task FS9.

It hangs on 'closing multiplayer session please wait'.

I'm using a Linksys NAT router, so I my try also direct connect,

but would like this to work w/ the router.

 

Any help/info appreciated.

 

Regards,

Ric

This is from the Avsim forum, I'm working on an update for the PRC and was going to add this, I'm not sure if it will help you but its a start. I don't have a router as of yet.

 

Firstly, you need to know your ip adress that your router is providing, by (if using win xP) click on start -> run -> type cmd

(if using win98/me/2000) type winip

 

Then a command prompt box will open, in there type

 

ipconfig

 

and it should give you

Connection-Speficic DNS Suffix

IP Address....

Subnet Mask...

Default Gateway...

 

What you are interested in is the IP Adress..., find out the number on the other sides of the dots and type it onto your URL in my case it would be 192.162.1.1 then you need to log into your router... you probably set your log in account before when setting up the router.

Anyhow, go into your port forwarding section and open the following ports

 

47624 - 47624\TCP\finish the last number after the dot\enable

2300 - 2400\UDP\finish the last number after the dot\enable

6073 - 6073\UDP\finish the last number after the dot\enable

3290 - 3782\UDP\finish the last number after the dot\enable

 

This will open your router ports for AVC and SB. Then save the config and start your msfs 2004.

 

Click on multiplayer, then click on settings,,, and set the ports for the both on 23458.

 

And then follow these settings

 

start sb relay 1.2

start msfs 2004

start m/p session

start a flight

start HOSTSB.dll by going to modules drop down list when clicking ALT

Start HOSTSB by clicking on run

Start Squawkbox From Windows

And You Should be set [/qoute]Firstly, you need to know your ip adress that your router is providing, by (if using win xP) click on start -> run -> type cmd

(if using win98/me/2000) type winip

Make sure also your UPnP(Universal Plug and Play) is disabled in your router settings!

That trouble shoot didn't work for me. I'm still getting exactly what RIC is talking about. Is anyone else in the flightsim community having this problem?
