Hi there,

Well this sounds like the usual port problem.
There is unfortunately not much we can do about. We can´t even do a port scan
cause UDP Ports don´t give you a feedback when connecting
unlike TCP ports. So all I can tell you again is... "make sure your ports are open, make sure
you´r firewall is configured correctly (or off), make sure you don´t have FSInn running in the background!!!!!!!!".

In very rare cases I experienced the same behaviour even when people
are connected who definitely have their ports open (like .. just xabbu and me beeing on the server).

Sometimes FS Muliplayer is just mysterious

Gilbert the maker of FSHost once gave his best to explain the FS Port system to me

.

Quote:

You asked about using other ports like 23457 and 8, and why you can sometimes connect on those ports as well. When FS2004 (or FSHostClient for FSX, it works the same as FS2004) connects to a session, it actually tries to connect on two ports: 23456 and the "alternate DirectPlay port" 6073. If it can't find a session on 23456, it usually finds it on 6073, and the host then replies back from 23456 anyway. From that point on, they usually switch to 23456, but if all else fails they sometimes switch to a random port in the range of 2302 to 2400. So let's say you tried connecting on 23457, or even something crazy like 33457. Since nothing on the host side is listening to that port, the request to that port will be ignored. But FS2004 still tries the default port 23456 anyway, and it still tries the alternate port 6073 as well. So it's trying three ports now. And the host will usually answer on 23456 either way, and they'll settle on that port. The point I'm making here is that you can actually try on any port you want, because FS2004 will still try 23456 and 6073 in addition to whatever port you pick, and one of those will usually work. And since nothing on the host side is listening to 23457 or 33457, there's no reason to forward those ports.

So as you can see.. it´s not that easy to figure out what exactely went wrong.... in cases a player can´t connect.

What you can try is to connect to port 23457 wich will not be found on our server. So FS than might try to use an
alternative port wich may work (or not).

This also helps in case you get you get kicked from the server by our intrusion detection system
wich means the session will close and you don´t find it anymore in your MP window. Doesn´t happen often but it does happen.
(not your fault, nothing you can do about, nothing we can do about cause our head admin is not going to change this)

I wish it was easier

cheers,

sam
