Hi, I can't get FS9 to connect to multiplayer sessions.It allways says that the connection to lobby failed.Realworld weather works fineI have winXP PRO SP2Mcfee antivrus with firewall turned off, also with ports 23456, 6809, 23455 opened wich I believe are the ones FS uses to connect.Even with Mcfee complectely turned off it still gives me the same error.Windows Firewall is also turned offSquawkbox connects fine, but FS doesn't.I'm getting really desperate, I don't know what else to do, I don't use routers, just a regular USB modem connection...please just give me sime hints on how to sort this...also, I'm even thinking of uninstalling Mcfee, do you know any good (preferably freeware) antivirus with firewall so that I can install it later?cheers
