[Steven McDougall 981177]

please help!

 

I can connect with SquawkBox fine with CZVR_CTR. but gives me error SquakBox could not connect multiplayer session in fs2004 Please connect Manually. This is where i get stuck, i searched Vatsim and several other Forums and could not find a ip or anything to put in under th multiplayer section of fs2004. I tryed "LocalHost", and some ip's. with no luck.I Fly around B.C. Canada if that helps . Home town CYGE. Been flying FS for 6 years now its time for ATC.

Have you made sure your Firewall is setup right for the ports?

Some idea concerning this issue.

 

If i got this message, i shuld try:

- Disable or finally uninstall all antivirus program in my PC.

- If i have a router i should disable PnP in the router and disable all firewalls include XP built in firewall in the PC.

- If i have no router, i should try use only XP built in firewall.

 

You may disable all antivirus, but remember never disable all firewalls or you get virus in some minutes or even in seconds.

Note that SB3 use two IP-connections, one to VATSIM and one local to FS, "could not connect multiplayer session in fs2004" indicate the local connecion to FS only. see: http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=12154
