Cannot see other aircraft...

[CaptKornDog 281]

Hi all,Ever since I've installed WinXP Home SP2 (about 3 days ago), I've had this issue. Whenever I open SBRelay and SB 2.3 for FS9 and connect to VATSIM, I connect just fine. However, after about 30 seconds, I get a message in FS saying "SquawkBox has left the server..." and all of the aircraft around me disappear. Apparently I'm still connected to VATSIM because controllers can still see me but after that first 30 seconds, I can no longer see any other traffic (which is getting to be quite annoying). I've just reinstalled DirectX with no apparent affect. Can anyone please help me?

And yes I've turned off the SP2 firewall.

I still have the firewall on, but when i opened the UDP port on 6809, it started working perfectly. Make sure you open both the TCP and UDP ports on port 6809.Chris

I actually put my router in DMZ mode, which means that all ports will be forwarded to my computer, and I still have this problem.
