Gents, I have thoroughly searched and followed all the suggestion posted in the forums, installed, reinstalled, wiped out and reinstalled, and still to no avail. I have disabled the firwalls, opened ports, disabled UPNP, and tried both wireless and hard wired. I have tried the IVAO host and SBrelay. I have followed the PRC guide line item by line item, and still nothing is working. I have the most current versions of DX, SB(unfortunately the most current version is so old), SBRelay, FSUIPC(fully registered), I have tried with hostsb.dll and sbhost.dll, and still nothing. I don't think its the router due to the fact i have no issues on my other computer(which is too slow thats why I'm not using it, for those who are wondering like I would be if I were reading this). I log on to VATSIM then look at all the callsigns pop up on the bottom of SBRelay(log on to the fs2002 session) but they fail to be logged on to the FS2004 session. In SB I have tried all the distances for the aircraft but still nothing. Any one have any other suggestions?Thank you for the help,Dan Fontan

What are you using for a firewall and anti-virus software.Some people have reported this same type of problem with Norton and McAfee, but only on some makes of computers, works fine for most, and not at all for a small group.

Fire wall in a linksys router(which i also tried sb with it disasbled) i have norton anti virus disabled. It is a new sony laptop.
