Martin Langran  11th Apr 2014 09:40:09 | Hi people. This is my first post so apologies if it may be in the wrong section. I have found a lot of useful answers here so hopefully someone can help.
Firstly i usually use a goconnect server supplied with the airline im on but its quite laggy and i am trying to do some formation flying so trying the open servers. Basically it seems i can connect directly using the IP address on servers as i spawn and can open and use the chat window. I can change views and pan around the aircraft but the aircraft is not recieving any input with controls ie engine start, rudder and wing movements using both my yoke or the keyboard keys. Also the green bar at the top displays no text. My friend is able to do everything perfectly. I have opened the following ports to try to resolve with no success. 2300-2400 6000 23456 6112 6073 Now the strange part is my other friend can host a session and everything works perfectly for me on his IP but on any other ip i get nothing!?? Hopefully this gives you enough to work with but please let me know if there is anything i can try. Cheers |

| Martin Langran 11th Apr 2014 15:42:31 | Thanks, I will try removing the other ports from my rules and see if that resolves the issue.
Its just strange how I can get on the session an see the other active users but it doesn't receive any control inputs and doesn't seem to connect fully.? |
Dave Wave  11th Apr 2014 20:41:07 | Closing the ports won't fix the problem, but as they are not used by fsx you should close them.
It sounds like your session is paused, can't think what else would cause your problem. |
| Curley Campbell 12th Apr 2014 01:31:39 | Let me clarify the PORTS are a "range" from 6112 to 6122.
Also in your firewall... set FSX via the "PROGRAM" method (rather than by ports)... for both Outbound and Inbound rules. That will include the range from 61121-6122 UPD, etc. |
| Martin Langran 12th Apr 2014 16:20:46 | Thanks for the replies guys I am back home tomorrow night so i will post the results. Hopefully this will resolve the issues. I do have the firewall turned off completely. My friend joins the session at the same time and he can fly fine. Are there any test sessions I can try and join to get some live help? |
Warren Holland   22nd Apr 2014 09:33:27 | Hey Martin I think ive managed to solve my problem Who you with on the internet is it BT Infinity ? and what hub you using is it a home hub 3. |
| Tim Walters 22nd Apr 2014 10:01:38 | A very strange problem indeed! Do post your solution anyways Warren, I'm intrigued...

| Warren Holland 22nd Apr 2014 15:15:13 | OK Tim I have been ages trying to resolve the same problem, but there is an inherant problem with the home hub 3 type A even when you port forward it will not work even tho they are showing open, even with DMZ enabled still nothing, Well the day came when i finally stumbled on the BT website and on there own forums, people moaning about this HH3 will not port forward and finally I stumbled across a post made by a BT member stating there is a inherant problem with the firmware and the only way to resolve it is to replace with a new Home Hub 4 or 5 the ports work on these, so I rang BT and bingo they want me to renew my contract for 18 months just to get another hub, so I said no and decide to purchase a home hub 4 from ebay, still wrapped for £15 and its on route as we speak, I will post once received and installed and report back. |
| Dave Wave 22nd Apr 2014 23:24:53 | Warren, can you link to this post from a BT engineer please |
| Warren Holland 23rd Apr 2014 11:06:21 | Sorry Dave cannot find original post ive trolled through loads to find it again but cannot see it but just google "BT Infinity Home Hub 3 port forwarding" and your see loads, its out there somewhere.. |
| Dave Wave 23rd Apr 2014 11:36:06 | All I can see is update the firmware and it should work fine. |
