Richard Webb 1097731 Posted October 12, 2009 at 12:30 AM Posted October 12, 2009 at 12:30 AM Is this possible? I'm trying to get a VRC user connected to my ES simulator to do some training. Shouldn't this work? -Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Mathieu 998318 Posted October 12, 2009 at 12:35 AM Posted October 12, 2009 at 12:35 AM Is the client connecting directly to your IP and not VATSIM? Please be specific on the setup and the pros will weigh in.

Please be specific on the setup and the pros will weigh in. My appologies... The client is external to my network and I have opened port 6809 TCP on my firewall direct to my computer and it won't connect. I have also tried my VRC on another computer on my internal network which connected several times in the past and now won't connect. I also had this student configure ES and he can't connect with ES either. If I set up ES in a second session on the same computer it will connect okay. Only thing I have not tried is ES on a different computer on my network. This is really strange. It seems that there is more to it than tcp/6809. -Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Mathieu 998318 Posted October 12, 2009 at 12:51 AM Posted October 12, 2009 at 12:51 AM Have you ever tried to run Virtual Tower with FSX and Euroscope? Try that port I forget the port number. I would try that as a test.

Try that port I forget the port number. I would try that as a test. Actually no, but I did figure out my problem. It had nothing to do with Euroscope. After spending some more time messing around with it, I discovered that I also could not ping that computer from another computer on the network so that started me investigating a communications problem. I have my system optimized with the FSX tuning faq that I've seen around on the net so many of my services are disabled - one of which is the internet connection sharing / firewall service. The problem was acting like a firewall issue but I could not start the firewall control panel because this service was disabled. When I tried to start the service, it also would not start. As it turns out, there was a disabled setting on the "Log On" tab of the service under the hardware profile which eventually solved it and restored communications. I think what caused it in the first place is I was having trouble getting someone outside the network connected to it and I tried to run the firewall control panel. When I did it comes up with a generic message stating that it's disabled and would I like to start it. In my haste I accidentally chose yes and then it wouldn't start because it was disabled. I think that somewhat enabled the firewall and caused all inbound communication to stop. Long winded answer, but I thought I should share in case someone else happens across a similar problem.
