Bones I have downloaded the new ADS, and have the map view and EGNS Metar showing. As far as I am aware, all my network machines have a fixed IPaddress, as does my Router to the outside world. Leastways, every time I check, they are always the same. It is preset by the router. BTHomeHub. I have tried portforwarding and closing Windoes firewall, I do not have any other firewall installed or active. Switching the DMZ on/off has no effect either. Wondering if I have the same problem as with FSHost, ie when certain people are connected, I cannot connect, This dispite a change of ISP and software/hardware. Various other applications access the outside world two ways, with no input from me to set up conditions. I am no rookie, to networking, but this has me beat. I will leave the ADS running for the rest of the day, and report when or if I get your data, currently, port forwarding is not on, but will set it up again later(30330 ?). Thats assuming it will work, I had to set up for FS9 to network but not for FSX. Frank F
