Hello!! I know i shouldn't ask the question in the wrong forum, but i think i can only rely on the pro guys here~~The problem is about the multuplayer session. First, i formatted my HD and installed the Win XP pro, ofcourse i then installed FS2002, 767PIC and everything just like before, then i hosted a multiplayer session in the FS2002 and run the SB, but the SB just can't find my host, usually while i click "start search" in the SB multiplyer games window, my host in FS2002 would appear immediately, but now it just searching searching....and no more. BUT, it successed 2 times, the 2nd one is after i reinstalled the FS2002 again, after that, no 3rd time!! I tried to change the FSUIPC from 2.975 to 2.95, but no work...i can't think of any solution now....please give me a clue if you have, i'm so sad that i can't join the guys out there in the sky! :-grr Thank you very much!!Best Regards!!Tommy

You need to type the localhost address for you PC in the search box. Just enter "127.0.0.1" without the quotation marks of course and SquawkBox will find the current multiplayer session.

Thank you!!but still no luck..Before it could find without type any address..Best RegardsTommy

I guess you're using Windows XP so search your WindowsSystem32DriversEtc folder for a file named "HOSTS"Open the Hosts file using Notepad and check to see if the first line says:# localhost: Needs to stay like this to work127.0.0.1 localhost

Thanks Workingstiff~I've checked, and the numbers are right as you said.still any possible cause?Best RegardsTommy

Hi there,I know this might be a dumb question but, do you have SB Host in your modules folder? You have to run that before running SB itself, that might be the cause.RegardsBjorn

Thanks Bjorn and Workingstiff~I just solved the problem by installing directx 9.0(original is 8.1) and ran the dxdiag and running the test on the direct play sector, then SB can find my host now!!! I'm not sure which one of them done the good job, but in case it could give us some idea of how to use strange way to deal with the strange problem~~ >:-) Yup! back to the sky~~~ :-) Best RegardsTommy
