I was worried because I couldn't find my port settings, but since I don't have the Windows XP service pack 2, or a router, I'm in the same boat as Fozzer 8)

....But, would the Zonealarm firewall interfere, or would I need to disable it?

You should be able to allow FS9 through as an exception.

I checked everything and it shouldn't be a problem : Zonealarm & windows firewall disabled, norton worm control accepts everything from FS9.

Hi Fozzer....!

We have also proved that our lives are much more stress/worry free then everyone else who has to fiddle around with their settings and routers Grin

Much less frustration and headaches involved 8)

Sometimes not upgrading things have an advantage Cheesy

Please people open all your ports !!! Also the FSNavigator Port even if you don´t use it. I sometimes get
"not all players were able to connect" messages from FSNav even if noone else with FSNavigator is connected.

Thank You !

Hi Sam...!

I may be wrong, but I think that only applies to pilots who use FS Navigator as a "RADAR" display to observe the locations of other pilots in the group.
In that case, I gather, they use another special, extra port address to connect to the Server.
I think this appears as a "star" attached to the fliers name, often with the word "FS Nav" included..?

Some of us, myself included, merely call up FS Navigator within the Sim to obtain the simple moving map GPS system, (and sometimes containing our flight plan route).

In this case I don't think a Port problem exists...?

Cheers...!

Paul...You never get lost with FS Navigator... Grin

Well I´m not shure how FSNav is handled through the network. Flightsim itself uses peer to peer
connections. Probabely FSNav works the same way.
Usually I would think.. if noone else is connected with
FSNav my conncetion would go directly to the server.
But sometimes I´m getting this "not all player were able..."
message even if no other FSNav user is online.
(The normal flightsim connection works well)
So I assume
it might get routet through other users connections no
mater if the one actually uses it or not.
But this is just speculation

wspilots actually does not say this port is optional. So I think it´s better for everyone
using this server to open this port.

By the way... Why don´t you use FSNav in the Multiplayer Session.. Paul ?? It´s quite comfortable to see other
players on your radar. I know there is a warning for low bandwith users. But it usually isn´t a problem. Just give it a try. You can also easily exchange flightplans in a session.

cheers.

Hi Sam...!

At the moment, like Andrew, I get no problems at all with my set-up for multiplayer, because neither of us uses a router, and we don't have Service Pack 2 installed, so no problems with Firewalls and Ports... Grin

..

...

...!
My FS Navigator works fine for just my use, and the thought of using it as on-line RADAR which you suggest, involving complicated Port problems is something I can well do without......
...Thank-you very much...LOL... Wink

...

...!

Cheers...

Paul...The Lone FS Nav User... 8)...!
LOL...!

P.S.
(1) Why do people use "Routers"
(2) If Routers give so many problems when playing on-line "games" why is it not possible to remove the Router connection and just plug the internal/external Modem directly into the 'phone line, (which is the set-up I use),...no Port problems then?.... Wink

If you don´t use a router, firewall or service pack 2. You don´t need to adjust anything to make it work . Just go to "options/Multiplayer Connect" (FSNavigator) Type in the
same server adress like you used to connect with flightsim
and (in case of wspilots) all 3 server should pop up.
Choose the right one and then just hit the connect button. That´s it.
Give it a try !
It really enhances a multiplayer session !!

and.. I use a router because I´m not the only one
who wants to enjoy the advantages of internet
at the place I live Wink

cheers

Hi Martyn...!

Just a thought...
If it's just you and the Missus who use the computer at home, and assuming that she doesn't play on-line games....why do you need/use a Router....?

Just curious...!
