Lennart Vedin Posted June 5, 2006 at 02:17 PM Posted June 5, 2006 at 02:17 PM > Also, how do you change your router settings It is not required to change router to connect and use Vatsim with squawkbox, but it is recommended to open UDP 3290 and forward to the computer (the IP-address) you use for Vatsim if using static IP-address. This [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume you have firewall in router and no firewall in your PC as i recommend. Antivirus may also possible cause some connection problem. Try turn off or uninstall if you think required. / Lennart Vedin / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Ingram 969666 Posted June 5, 2006 at 02:40 PM Author Posted June 5, 2006 at 02:40 PM I have McAfee antivirus system. What do I do with this? How do I lower the firewall setting? Anybody with this system be glad to share. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennart Vedin Posted June 5, 2006 at 04:00 PM Posted June 5, 2006 at 04:00 PM I have McAfee antivirus system. What do I do with this? search forum for McAfee and you see it have cause much problem, even but many people are pleased with McAfee. Since you have router, you not need any other firewall and can turn XP firewall off also. But you still need antivirus protection for normal internet useage. How I should do: 1. Uninstall McAfee. (then be carefull how you use internet.) 2. only use the router firewall. 3. try connect to vatsim and see if all things work ok. Then depend how it works you have some options. Find an antivirus that works with vatsim, or some you can turn off proper (typical turn antivirus services off ). My self i have separate harddisk for FS and Vatsim, and with no antivirus it make computer fast. I only access a few quite safe internet sites during flight. / Lennart Vedin / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
