Wide FS / SB issues

[jbinner]

I've been having problems getting SB to work right with FS2002 and SB.

New laptop, so I decided to put ALL of the programs running, except FS2002, on the laptop. EVERYTHING is working fine, except SB never finds a session over the connection. Both machines are WinXP, 100MB LAN via a DSL router.

Any suggestions?

Isn't the "session" it is trying to find a Multiplayer session? FSUIPC and WideFS don't have "sessions" as such, SB will simply connect to WideClient as if it is FS98. Possibly it is, as a consequence, looking for an FS98-style multiplayer link? There may be a special parameter for it to tell it you are using FS2002.

WideFS and FSUIPC have nothing to do with the multiplayer part of SB and FS's relationship, and I'm afraid I know nothing about it. Perhaps someone else will jump in and help, or otherwise you could try the SB support place?

Regards,

Pete

ALL firwwalls were turned off during the test runs last night. Again, programs like ActiveSky, Real Time, worked fine, but no luck with SB.
