Thanks, will give it a go tomorrow. I know the network is correct. Plan G is able to create the data base without any problem. I just get the error when using the connect to FSX button  in Plan G.

Tried to do a search of the following error, but could not find a specific answer. Using a laptop with Windows Vista to connect to my game machine Windows 7 64 bit. When I attempt to connect Plan G I get the following log error "SimConnect Connect failed: BeatlesBlog.SimConnect.SimConnect+SimConnectException: Pipe Connection Failed ---> System.TimeoutException: The operation has timed out.
   at System.IO.Pipes.NamedPipeClientStream.Connect(Int32 timeout)
   at BeatlesBlog.SimConnect.SimConnect.Networking.Connect()
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at BeatlesBlog.SimConnect.SimConnect.Networking.Connect()
   at BeatlesBlog.SimConnect.SimConnect.OpenCommon(String strAppName)
   at BeatlesBlog.SimConnect.SimConnect.Open(String strAppName, String strHostName, String strPipeName)
   at FS._SimConnect.Connect()"  Any help would be much appreciated.
