I just had a peek on the internet regarding Port Forwarding and disconnection problems...

It seem that sometimes the Multiplayer Server gets bogged down with lots of Pilots on line, overwhelming the available Bandwidth.... Wink...!

...also, each  FS Navigator User adds an extra half the Bandwidth to the Server, as each Pilot on line... Roll Eyes...!

All this adds to the chance of various Pilots unable to connect, or get disconnected, during the Session!

Only the slightest little hiccup in the system can spoil a Session!... Cry...!

Paul...G-BPLF...FS 2004... Cool...!




I don't think that's the case for us.  The Server we use, is for SimV only.  And it's NEVER full of pilots.

Sam even has it set up for unlimited pilots here because there is so much bandwidth available. 

Each site uses their own server to run FSHost, Look at WSP's server, it's ALWAYS more busy than we are, and I don't ever have this problem over there. I wonder though, how many I've kept from joining there in the past due to my port problem. Embarrassed

WSP is interesting, in that we have the choice of a connection to one of three separate Port Addresses...
23456, 23457, and 23458.... which a fantastic idea... Smiley...!

Lots of us join WSP, many running FS Navigator, with no problems that I've been aware of... Smiley...!

Everyone's correct Ports appear to open automatically upon connection... Smiley...!

Paul... Cool...!

That's because they are running 3 separate servers! Shocked  They really love their pilots. Grin Wink

I suspect the port problem doesn't exist there because they are the world's serious pilots. Grin Wink

For those that need them:
(like me! Cheesy )

I've added step by step pics on the first page for opening ports in the firewall, and a shot of what your router firewall should look like. Wink

What do you mean, you can't run it? Huh

Do you run it and it fails?
    
      or...

You just can't get the test itself to work?

I love it when the Text in that DOS Window scrolls all the way down with the reports: OK!

....and finishes up with:
"Testing Complete. No errors found....Press any key to exit".... Smiley...!

..so much joy!

Paul...any Port in a storm!.... Cool...!

Same here, it's nice to go online and feel guilt free about the ports. Wink

As John stated earlier though, some users may have an ISP that blocks ports, thus making it much harder to get them open. Shocked

I find that a healthy diet of Fruit and Vegetables, every day, aids in keeping ones Ports in good working condition... Smiley...!

"Port Forwarding" should only be used as a last resort, and should only be used upon advice from your Doctor....

...trust me...Wink...!

They keep timing out.  My brother (who set up the ports) says it might be from our slow internet connection.

Skoker, I have the same thing. FSporttester keeps timing out on me. However, did you download this portchecker? See what that tells you about your ports.

It says that the ports are not open or not reachable!

How does the computer you are on connect to the internet?

Is it networked through a router from a different computer, or is it directly connected to the net?
