You MUST prepare your Firewall and router(if you use one) ports before connecting.

This link here will guide you through the port opening process: http://205.252.250.26/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1252421080

Your options are to either open all 106 ports, or disable your firewall before flying online.
I recommend opening the ports for the obvious security reasons,
but also just to know that you won't be the one causing a catastrophic connection failure for others while online.

To join a FSHost server with FSX, you´ll need to install FSHostClient.

You can download it here.

When that is done,before you start FSX do the following:

-Click the FSHostClient.exe

-The following window will pop up:

-In the IP address window, enter fs.netfrag.org,

-Enter your player name in the space provided

-Enter the server password in the space at the bottom.

-click 'Search IP for sessions

-When it finds the server, click Connect at the bottom.

-The chat window will then pop up, with your name in the list:

Now, start FSX in Windowed mode, and leave it that way.

Set AI traffic to 0% and lock frames to 20 and you should be good to go.
