| Server running | |
Warren Holland   5th Apr 2014 22:22:37 | Hey guys I have the server running but nobody can connect direct, I have checked the ports and confirmed them all open but still nobody can connect, I had Dikembe try to help me but nothing is working but all the ports are open but no one can connect, please help driving me insane !! |
Chase Morgan  6th Apr 2014 02:45:33 | By ports are open, are you talking about your firewall? If you have a router, you will need to port forward to your Machines Internal IP Address |
| Warren Holland 6th Apr 2014 09:11:30 | Hi Chase yes I have checked my firewall and they are all ok and my router ports are forwarded i even gone the extra mile and opened up DMZ just to try but nothing..

Dave Wave   6th Apr 2014 10:12:25 | Don't stick your pc on a dmz, you've removed any protection provided by your router.
I've sent you an email. |
| Warren Holland 7th Apr 2014 07:47:41 | hey Dave thanks for your offer, but I do have a good grip on networking and port forwarding, but something is throttling it, surely there are more ports required to open than 6112 to 6122, I can connect direct through my network fine, it seems theres a barrier but ive tried opening everything and still nothing. |
| Dave Wave 7th Apr 2014 09:36:29 | Are you sure you have a good grip lol!! |

| Tim Walters 7th Apr 2014 20:28:04 | There are online port checkers available. One very simple one is: http://www.canyouseeme.org/
Try testing the default FSX ports. TimW. |
| Ken Ratcliffe 7th Apr 2014 20:32:13 | Hi Warren
I had same problem. but I used ports 6112-6122, 23456-23456, 6073-6073 friends can now connect to me. Hope this helps, Ken Ratcliffe |
| Dave Wave 7th Apr 2014 21:00:15 | You only need to open the ports that you specify fsx to use. By default its 6112 to 6122. Since Gamespy went down its important that client and server use the same ports or it you won't connect which is why I say only use this range.
Ken, your extra ports are not required, please do not tell people to set these up as it's simply not required and causes confusion. |
| Warren Holland 9th Apr 2014 20:12:49 | Hey its me again ive done some checking with port checkers and allsorts, but here goes... Ive opened the ports required and they are showing open but when checked they are showing closed with a port checker, but i can connect direct to one of the sessions, weird or what ? any ideas ? driving me insane this, i have good feed back from my guys with your videos and we want this but what the hell is going on ?
