Hey guys, I'm currently under a university firewall and am unable to access squawkbox. Everytime that I hit the connect button nothing happens and the connection times out. Not only that, I am also unable to connect to servinfo and download the list of online ATC's. Has anyone had a similar problem occur? Also does anyone know any way possible that i may be able to byp[Mod - Happy Thoughts] this firewall.

 

 

 

Thank You,

Port must be opened for squawkbox by edit the firewall.

 

> unable to connect to servinfo

Don't know why. It should not be needed to open ports. I access servinfo at my work without doing anything.

Maybe check this http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?t=722

Hey there, thank you very much. ServInfo now works thanks to the link you provided. Unfortunatly squawkbox still doesn't work. I'm am currently under the university firewall and have already disabled the Windows XP firewall. How do I go about opening ports on the University Firewall?

You must get access to the firewall setting (=p[Mod - Happy Thoughts]word). I suppose you must ask the University IP administrator if he/she can open the specified ports.
