Squawkbox Problem - i get as far as the 'Multiplayer box' but when I push 'search 'it just comes up with 'looking for games' and nothing else happens. I have tried disabling anti-virus - doesn't make a difference. What's going on? Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers.

I had a simular problem, couldnt find SBRelay in FS2004 MP list. I believe it is a network recognition problem, even though my internet was working and all seemed to be in order!

 

For me, after starting SBRelay and FS, I just refreshed/restarted my LAN/Cable connection in networking before starting up my FS2004 MP, which worked.

 

Hope this helps

Lennart has the right link. I had a problem with ports on the router not being opened.

Yes it's a difference with Squawkbox Join problem and FS2004 Join problem.

 

> couldnt find SBRelay in FS2004 MP list.

This is 'cause required ports are not opened. See subject 6. Firewall and router.
