Multiplayer FS2004 and SBRelay

[Guest dlamb]

In order to set up SBRelay and squawkbox I am having no luck with the multiplayer function in FS2004. I have followed all instructions to the letter. I start SBRelay and then FS2009 but when I call up the multiplayer function and click search nothing comes up. Even when I put in the IP adrress 127.0.0.1 nothing happens. I am running Windows2000 and have disabled my firewall which is System Suite. Having followed FS2004 instructions to find my computers IP address I.e. Run cmd and then type in ipsg it comes up with C:My DocumnetsAdministrator. But no sign of my IP. Has anyone any ideas on how to get around this problem?David

Hi Vulcan,Sorry for long delay in replying but got called away from home for a few days. Yes messsage now connect to squawkbox and FS9 comes up correctly in SBRelay but the problem is when I try to set up a Multiplayer session in FS9 and click search nothing happens. Even if I put the 127.0.0.1 into the IP address nothing happens.David

David,A silly question but a mistake a lot make, you are trying to join the MP session and not host it aren't you?My access to the forums is a bit hit and miss at the moment but if you think I can help further feel free to email or PM me David.Rgds

Yes. I am trying to join and not host. The problem is nothing comes up to join in th multiplayer sessions window. And yes I do start SBRelay first. However if I then just cancel the multiplayer box and start Squawkbox and host, then everything connects. However I have not had the opportunity to join a session. Strange.David
