Hi,

I'm hosting an FSX multiplayer session on my 2nd PC via a Linksys router. I've opened the appropriate ports [2302 - 2400, 6073, 23456 and 6112 - 6122 UDP] and set up the Windows firewall to allow FSX traffic through. Still, my friends can't find the session :banghead:

Strangely enough, I can find and join the session using my #1 PC. I'm running Vista on #2 PC and Windows 7 64 bit on #1 machine.

Anyone else had similar problems?
 
Ello Dave T... I hope I can help you here... On the sign in to multiplayer click the network settings tab at the bottom of the screen. Enter 6073 for both ports there and leave the rest alone. Then you should be able to host. If you still have probs or need step by step grab me on MSN, i will be looking.

Not arf mate!
 
Are you sure your internal IP hasn't changed? Mine used to change all the time, thus making all my port forwards useless. I finally set it to static a while back and I've not had any problems since.

I've also heard of others hosting but not being able to join their own sessions.

Hi Kiwikat, I joined my own session ok using my 'internal' IP. I'll set it to static if I can ;) Thanks!
