Hi Tim,

I had the problem b4 and we were able to get the networked pc to connect to the FSX pc.  However, I have the problem again.  I checked the simconnect and the FSX connections on optins on the pc running GPlan everything looks ok but it keeps timming out when I try to connect.  I even tried to change to IPv6 and to just put mt FSX pc's network name, but no joy.

Here is a copy of my simconnect on the FSX machine:

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">

                <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
         </SimConnect.Comm>

         </SimBase.Document>

This is a copy of the log from my Plang pc:

Also, my settings under the "ethernet adapter local area connections is,

IPv4 address is 192.168.1.103

Default gateway is 192.168.1.1

Hope you guys can make some sense of this and get me back online.  This program is too good to be without.

Thanks,

George

You have the wrong IP address in the SimConnect.xml. - you specified the gateway address instead of the PC's address.

Thanks Tim.

That's what it was.  I set it to the  pc's ip address last time I posted and it was fine till a few days ago.  I don't know how it got changed in the simconnect.
But the important part is that it is working.

Thanks again for a great program and a speedy reply:)
