P3D 3.1 FSUIPC with WIDEFS not connecting

[ssanchez]

Hello,

I have 2 computers which I connect via FSUIPC and WideFS. This morning I noticed that my P3D3.1 is not connecting to my remote computer. It just says "Waiting for clients". I tested with FSX and P3D2.5 and they both work fine... I downloaded and installed the latest FSUIPC and WIDEFS and still they wont connect. I also re-ran SIMCONNECT to no avail...

Any ideas?

SimConnect isn't involved in WideFS.

 

There is no difference whatsoever in WideFS between any version of FS, so you have some setting different. I would need to see the WideServer and WideClient log files, please. Paste them into a message here.

Thanks Pete,

 

Found the issue...

 

Recently my ISP router gave up... When they replaced it, my network went from "Private" to "Public". FSX and P3D 2.5 were allowed in both Private and Public, but 3.1 was allowed only in private networks

 

P3D 3.1 connects now

Thanks. I didn't even reallze you could select Network types per program. Where's that done? Is it by specific mention in the firewall?

Yup! Firewall settings in Windows 10... Dont remember if that was available in 7
