Squawkbox leaves MP session after 2 mins.

Despite no problems with FS9/SB on VATSIM since FS9 was released, recently, the SB/MP connection closes after 2 mins on the servers. I am using WinXP Home (and I disabled firewall with no effect). I have since re-installed SB with no success. Otherwise I have made no changes to my system. Does anyone have any (and I mean any) explanations or possible causes of this unfortunate anomaly? I'd like to get back to online flying. Thanks.

Scott, in similar cases the following helped:

 

In FS -> MP Settings -> Change the Client Port from 23456 to something other like 23457. If this doesn´t work you can always roll back to 23456.

Do you have more than 1 network card driver installed? If so disable the one your not using, it worked for me

There's one way to solve it! Have a look at here

 

http://www.chocolatesoftware.com/sbrelay/help.html

 

"Disable all network cards before connecting SB and FS2004 to SBRelay, then re-enable it afterward. This can sometimes solve a problem with SB disconnecting from SBRelay after 2 minutes."

 

I t means you shall just re-enable your internet connection before you're ready to click "Connect" on Squawkbox...
