To connect to the simV multiplayer server it says i have to open certain ports. The tutorial provided is aimed mainly at use with routers. As i dont have a router (i have a dsl connection) do i still have to open these ports? If so please could someone help me! I have flown on many multiplayer servers and have had no problems but when i try to fly on the SimV one there is never anyone online. Is this because i dont have the correct ports open??
Thanks in advance for any help.

The only way you will be able to really tell if your ports arent open is if someone (or yourself) gets booted from the server.

I am one of the few lucky Bunnies... Wink

I just "connect" and off I go....no problemo....every time....sorted... Grin

These bleedin' "Routers" seem to cause more trouble than they are worth, in on-line "games"..... Angry

...surely it is possible to remove them (Routers) for the duration of the Game/Multiplayer Flight, to avoid the conflicts...?

Cheers all...!

High Flight Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds - and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of - wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air. Up, up the long delirious, burning blue, I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or even eagle flew - And, while with silent lifting mind I've trod The high untresspassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand and touched the face of God.&&

To check if there is anyone flying on the Sim V Server, have a browse here first...>>>

http://cockpit.netfrag.org:8090/

If there is no one there, then there is no one flying on the Server...
If there is, then you have all the details you need...
