SP2. I think the installation is pretty much up to what it was prior to reinstall. Thanks for coming back so quickly.

I have just had to do a full reinstall of FSX. At the same time I decided to download and install the latest Plan-G having successfully used an earlier version on a separate computer for some time. This time I just cannot connect across our wireless network. Nothing has changed apart from installing the current version of Plan-G. Although both machines are Windows Vista I originally used IPv4 but, as I could not get this to function I am now trying IPv6 but still without success. I have tried excluding port 4506 in the firewalls and I have tried disabling firewalls completely and still no luck. Neither of of the steps were previously necessary. I can ping both machines in either direction. The current version of Plan-G works perfectly well on the FSX machine. I have searched the forum but have not been able to find anything that helps my situation so I hope someone out there can. Here is my SimConect file.

Absolutely correct. Thanks for the rapid response

I have just noticed that the IP address has changed from 192.168.1.69 to 193.168.1.67. Why would it do that? Is this going to happen every time I shut down the FS computer? Can I/should I stop it?

Thanks

I have been running Plan_G on the same computer as FSX for some time. Two days ago I had a go at setting up Plan-G on a separate laptop having previously been intimidated by what looked like a complex process. I was surprised at just how easy it was particularly with the help of the idiot's guide in one of the earlier threads. This morning I booted everything up as normal but I get the time out message  when I try to connect Plan-G to FSX. I cannot see what has changed and I have no idea why anything should have changed. All security settings look the same. Any ideas anyone?
