Ron Priever 819415 Posted November 29, 2005 at 12:06 AM Posted November 29, 2005 at 12:06 AM Greetings all,, I am a VATSIM newbie, so please be gentle. I recently installed the required files (Squawkbox and FSUIPC). When I start FS2004, I am able to click on the Squawkbox link from the Modules drop down menu. However, I am getting the response "unable to start multi player session. Squawkbox will not start" Any idea why this is happening? I have a DSL, and also run Norton. Could the anti-virus protection be causing a problem, although I got no pop-ups specifically indicating this? Any help will be much appreciated.

Brian Teh 945968 Posted November 29, 2005 at 10:19 PM Posted November 29, 2005 at 10:19 PM I had a lot of problems too, and the answer is probably in the forums here somewhere... here are the two things that I checked for, the second of which solved the problem... 1) Check that you have nothing blocking your connection, like a firewall/router, antivirus program, etc. You may have to check for- and forward some ports if you have a router. 2) Check that you have UPNP *disabled* - I don't know why, but this magical step fixed the problem! Check your router to see if you have UPNP and if you can disable it. Then, if you're like me, it'll work. Goodluck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
