Hi!

 

I have a same problem.. My router is DI-514 (just waiting for SB3 hopefully)

I don't have much ideas what the problem is.

 

1. If you have any anti-virus program, turn it complete off. It's not needed to run, and you can scan your computer for virus after disconnect.

 

2. Check that the application Squawkbox is registered in FSUIPC.

 

3. Check you are connected to a reliable fast server from your location, use ServInfo page "Network Servers".

 

4. Try first use "SB Host.exe" in a separate window, not the in FS menu built in HostSB.dll (some people have problem with HostSB.dll).

 

5. It can be a port in your firewall that is not open. Thats why SB send, but your computer not accept received data.

Mayby TCP it open but not UDP.

 

Here is all information I have about ports:

I can't say for sure what port need to open, but following is as I use, and it works for me.

 

In summary all opened ports for Squawkbox, SBRelay and AVC, I myself have open:

TCP and UDP, 6809.

TCP and UDP, 6703.

UDP, 1900.

UDP, 6073.

UDP, 23456.

UDP, 3290.

UDP, 3782.

 

 

I have read existing docomeents as following:

"

Vatsim doc say:

6809 - for Squawkbox TCP/UDP

6703 for SBRelay (if Used) TCP/UDP

1900/6073/23456 for Direct Play UDP

 

In addition the AVC support write about:

UDP port 3290 and 3782.

If you have a router or firewall, try forwarding the following ports to your PC's internal IP address (see above for help locating your PC's internal IP, see your router or firewall's manual for help with forwarding ports):

 

* TCP 47624

* UDP 2300 to 2400

* UDP 6073

"

 

In Addition to this chocolatesoftware.com/sbrelay, I recommend not to set DMZ (DeMillitaryZone), how I understand, it open all ports for one computer in a router.

Yes...it seems a ports thing, cos i start using a D-link 524 router and the problem seems to be resolved....may be was caused by the DSL modem before, or so.

thank you anyway for the information....i keep it on my pc!!
