bernard tremblay Posted August 18, 2011 at 01:23 AM Posted August 18, 2011 at 01:23 AM I know my setup can support this, because I had it working last fall. I recall when I got it working because it was one of those "OMG it was right under my nose the whole time" moments. Started up the game box this morning, got FSX setup, and found the network connection wasn't working. Walked through settings, got it working, grabbed the planes I had downloaded to the laptop last night, installed those planes, all good so far, but no joy on net connection. For some reason net sharing says it can't get new IP for the XP box. Here's the setup: my laptop is connected 24/7. That's not optional. I have the XP connection set to Share. Which it refuses to do. I'm sure I have one thing set wrong but can't for the life find it. Some XP/Vista geek can walk me through this? It's not so hard to disconnect the laptop and connect the game box, but that's not the thing to do. Again: I know it's doable, because I had it working. TIA If you look to see how the system works Likely you will find that it doesn't. @bentrem - FSX SP2 | AMD Athlon II 630 2.8GHz X4 | GA-MA785 | Radeon 5770 | 6GB DDR3 | XP Pro | Saitek X52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
