Connection problem

Running 2012 on a remote machine, it will start with no problems. However sometimes when going to the Map page and clicking on center on aircraft, it will not make the connection. The check will not appear in the checkbox.I recently rebuilt the remote machine thinking it was a simconnect issue. Upon rebuild completion, the ai traffic test worked first try. Loading textures works and 2012 loads normally.I guess my questions is, what does it mean when 2012 will complete the start process that incldues connection with simconnect but the map does not work where it will not aacept the check within the checkbox for center on aircraft?Thanks,
