pilotsden

happy flying to all
ATTACHED is a j-peg of my set up.

These number's

for my ip have since changed and this is for visual aid only.
sure hope this helps as there is nothing more frustrateing.

Thanks PD!

I'll look into this and compare it to the FSX instructions. I think the actual program name will be key. In our case it will be cfs3, right?
 
OK I looked at FSX and FS 2004 and 2002. It looks like all we need are the ports to forward for CFS3. I see they are slightly differnt for this MS bunch, but if we have the right ones for CFS3 we should be ready to go. Thanks!

:wavey:
 
Well squiff i do believe you name microsoft games not cfs-3. It the port number and that name that has worked for me.

Very well. I also saw the port numbers in your screenies. thanks a lot. I'll see if maybe I can host first to test, and then I think we can be sure that the settings will work for others. Router make shouldn't matter. it's the port numbers and software matches. It's been a good night.
 
PD, were you using the microsoft gamesever when you used these? That might be a problem for us.
 
that was 3 yrs ago and to be honest i dont remember. you can try just nameing it cfs-3 and open the ports described.

I actually wen tthroug it with Grizzly online. We got connected fine with me hosting TS. But then TS actually conects you with a server online similar to the way the old MS game servers used to work. Here is where the problem lies...I think! Sure enough, when we quit out of CFS3 the last time after no dice, I saw a message from my Norton AV saying an ms game was trying to access my computer. The box didn't show up until I exited 3D! That may have been Grizzly trying to connect. I can't rmember what the server name was exactly. Is it possible for a private hot to use a 192.168... address and have people connect to it from the web? Our impression is that it is only a local address code with those prefix numbers on it. Also, I am running a linksys router connected to a westell router/dsl modem. I was able to seed in uTorrent for the MAW download last year and my computer was on all night. My IP came up as a 70.22... number
 
No problem 0-1, (Steve?) :redf:

We have been using that. CFS3 no longer appears with a software guide on the site. FS does and I think it will be similar. When I set up to torrent share for MAW a created a fixed ip and forward one port. I now have TS server working and ports forwarded for CFS3. I MAY have actually gotten a request from Grizzly's computer but did not see it in the 3D ui in game. There was a message from Norton AV tellign me there was a request once we quit and I exited back to desktop. BUT, all this was done with a 192.168... "cntl h" in cfs3 and a 70.25... address when "pinged" via google. It may have been the latter that actually popped the Norton AV box that I didnt' see. Grrrrr. :banghead:
 
you post the router number to the world

then they join that number and port forwarding does the rest.

also,make sure you allow the game in the windowa firewall.

the computor you are hosting on has to have its ip number in the port forward boxes.

Thanks PD. Dos Ghost and Tailwind helped me get it set up last night. On top of that, I got my stock air files reinstalled adn the xdps too. I was flying buy the end of the night. I need to contact Grizzly50 now and touch base.

Thanks again. We're done here.
