Maybe I am misunderstanding of how this .dll works but I have the idea that you can communicate with SBHost by using the keyboard on comp. 1 to communicate w/ SB on computer 2.. Is this the case?? If so I cannot get it to work..Comp1 -- WinXP, AMD XP1800, 1 gig, DX9.0a, FS2002, FSUIPC 2.975, WideFS 5.50 server TC/PIP, FS Sky World, FSmeteo & AI Bridge( both for Non-VATSIM flights )Comp2 -- Win98, Dx8.1, 450 PII, 288 meg, WideFS 5.50 client TC/PIP, SB 2.3.0.4 , FSMeteo & AI Bridge( both for VATSIM flights )Comp 1 - I start FS2002, host a multiplayer as observer, close AI Bridge and FSMeteo as they auto start through FSUIPC, start SBHost.dll.. Keep FS Sky World running (auto start).. done.Comp 2 - Start computer (its only use is for VATSIM) , through startup it runs Wideclient which auto starts FSMeteo, timed wait for 20 secs, then SB , a timed wait for 60 secs., then AIBridge. Roger Wilco autostarts through SB.. done.When I open the MP chat window I get all the flyers (including SQWAUKBOX, AIBRIDGE etc..) that are in the 40NM range, but I get no messages through the green bar thingy.. Should I have a SBHOST in the MP chat window ?What in the world can I be doing wrong?? I've read through a dozen or so posts here regarding this but nothing seems to work.. I would like to get it to work as I tried to get keysends through FSUIPC to send over to Comp2 to work in the SB window but it doesn't work and is alot of work.. My big problem is the lack of space for 2 keyboards in the "virtual cockpit". ( The size of a one-hole outhouse ) I would really like to get this deal to work for this purpose only. It's been a long time since online flying and am trying to get back up to speed.Thanx in advance for help.Roman

Hi,Maybe it's because you host a multiplayer session as observer?Look at my set-up, http://www.nicokaan.nl/ flightsim and go-online pages.I am using SB build 4(the FS2000 version, that also works fine for FS2002) on my second PC. Then you don't need SBHost at all....Regards,NicoEHAM

My probelem is not getting SB going... I read thru posts here that you can comm through the MP dialog using SBHost.. ( If correct thinking ) Am I correct in this theory? If so I cannot get it going.. Setting up SB on the other comp is not a problem, the thing is...If the sort of setup I am speaking about is true why can't I make it work. Regards,RomanGREEN BAY PACKERS][/i :-ukliam :-beerchug
