Thanks sorted now by manually editing the Simconnect file ip address. But really appreciate your input. These thing can be so frustrating. PlanG a fantastic piece of software.

Enjoy your flying.

Thanks for the suggestion I will have a go.

Thanks for that. I know how to get an ip address using. Iconfig /all but where in PlanG am I supposed to put the ip addresses in?

Thanks for your time 

Has anybody had this problem?

Win7 FSX.  XP running PlanG.

PlanG connects over the network to download FSX database.

But when I try to connect...it says it cannot find FSX or it is not running.

Tried Simconnect programme no joy.
Got full FSUIPC selected connect using it no joy.
Turned off both firewalls still no joy.

I am happy to try any other suggestions.

Cheers
