Can't connect to VS. SBRelay Error.

[Luke Simons 822656]

When I start SBRelay I get this message.

041217 14:14:49 Starting servers...

041217 14:14:57 FS2002 server started

041217 14:15:03 ERROR creating FS2004 session. DirectX is reporting an error because UDP port 6073 is already in use. This can often be fixed by disabling your firewall or reconfiguring it to allow this port to be used by FSHost. McAfee's PrivacyService can also cause this problem. Some users have also reported that disconnecting their router from the internet before starting FSHost can fix the problem.

 

I've tried disconnecting the firewall doesn't work, unplugging my router, doesn't work. My FS2k4 isn't picking up any session, I'm [Mod - Happy Thoughts]uming because of this. I'm not very computer literate. Any ideas? Thanks.

It's a risk to dissconnect firewall. But if you take the risk, then disconnect as short you can just to make a short test.

 

Are you sure you have disconnect all firewalls.

 

You have a router. [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume you have XP than you must check XP firewall is complete turned off (XP firewall is not recommended to use with Vatsim).

Then you still have the firewall in your router. You must then open ports in the router (this is not a risk), or turn firewall off or byp[Mod - Happy Thoughts] the router i.e. connect your PC direct to internet (this is the risk).

 

What router do you have ?

 

Also turn all antivirus program off during your installations and test.

Thanks for the reply, I'm still working on it, I'm not very familiar with all these firewalls and routers, but I have a linksys router. Thanks again!
