I have done everything described in an attempt to use simconnect to use plan g on my laptop with fsx on my main pc.  I created the IPv4 version of a simconnect.xml file and put it in the same directory as fsx.cfg.  I just copied what was in the users guide and made sure my port was entered correctly in plan g. I opened that port in my router as well just to be sure. I have tried disabling all antivirus firewalls on both computers.  I am stubborn and can usually get things to work. I am very frustrated now. What gives?  Can someone give me a simple list of the things I need to do so I can make sure I didn't miss anything?    I haven't done anything with simconnect other than make sure it was loaded by installing it off the fsx disc onto my main fsx computer. Do I need to load it on the laptop running plan g as well?
FSX Gold with acceleration
Plan g 3.1.0.82
Windows 7 home premium 64bit on both computers

Oh yeah.. I did see in the users guide that the .xml file was proven to work in windows xp. Could this be an issue with windows 7 compatibility?
