Connectionproblems with SB2.3 and WideFs on a second comp.

[edward]

Hi Peter,i have the next problem,on my first computer i run fs2002 and have also the last registered versions of FSUIPC and WIDEFS on that comp.

Squawkbox2.3 are also installed on that computer.

On my second computer,"laptop" i have installed the WideClient an have made a copie of Squawkbox and set that on the laptop.

Also i made the following line in the config of WideCleint ,Run1=C\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fs2002\Squawkbox\Squawkbox.exe

So when i start fs2002 on my first comp. and go to multiplayer i connected it,after that i go to my laptop en start WIDEFS,HostSB and SBexe.

In the dialogscreen u push the button search,then in the next screen i wil give the IP adress 127.0.0.1 and click on the button.

Now the program is still searching but nothing happends.

What i do wrong?maybe can you give me a solution?i hope so.

Thanks that you take some time for me.

Sincerly Edward.

Is it searching for the multiplayer connection? If so then I'm afraid I can't help at all. Neither WideFS nor FSUIPC are at all involved in the Multiplayer side of things. It sounds quite likely that you have a firewall setting blocking things.

On the other hand, it just occurred to me: isn't 127.0.0.1 always the current PC, i.e. the one you are running in? I should think you would need to give SB the IP address of your FS PC -- don't you think so?

Peter,thanks for your answer.

I have stopped the firewall and downloaded sb relay so now it opens SB and i can joined it.

Hi Eward,

Why are you not using SB3.03? (it's been released half a year ago...)

Hi Eward,

Does SB3 work with FS2002 as well as FS2004?

Hi,i stopped with the SB on my laptop,it`s connect and launched SB with the program SBrelay but when i try to open the menu in SB the menu not appears and i see no way to solved that.

I use sb2.3 because it came with IVAO so i have try to install the last version off SB3.04 without a positive result.I don`t no IVAO support the last version of SB,they use IVAP.

greetings,Edward.

I'm afraid you wil need to contact SB support. This is not related to FSUIPC or WideFS.

Yes Peter you`r right,the widefs and fsuipc are good programs and have nothing to do with SB last version.

I read on the forum of SB that you only can Fly with Vatsim and SB.

IVAO has it`s own prog.

Regards and thanks for taking your time.

Ah, so you are forced to switch to IVAP. From what I have seen, that is a good program too, so you should be okay!

Good flying
