jondercik Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 they need to use your public IP address and the correct port(s) need to be forwarded from the router to your PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_anomaly Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 i hope my public IP is the same they show me at Whatsmyipn how can i check the port thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jondercik Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 it should be, or you could check in the status page on your router.For the ports it depends on the game which one(s) need to be forwarded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripken204 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 thx, so mny ppl have the same problem as you do and dont care to ask about it, but you did and now your happy flight simulator multiplayer? hmm... what exactly do u do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfiddler Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 (edited) Will do is probably the correct wording in my case. My PC and all my stuff is in North York, Ontario where my fiancee and I share an apartment. I'm currently working in Ottawa and I commute everyother weekend ... that is until I'm transferred to Markham, which is very close to North York.I am a licensed pilot and I use Flight Simulator 9 for IFR training. I also use it as much as I can with VATCAN and Squawkbox v3.4. Until I got the D-Link DVG1120M router for our voice over IP I had no problems with directplay. However the router arrived and I could connect once... but never again until I reset it. This router's onboard setup is different then I'm used to and there wasn't a mention of any firewall settings. I was just reading up on the NAT Configuration menu when I saw your post.I hope this solves the issue!Cheers,Dan Edited February 15, 2006 by flyingfiddler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingfiddler Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Sadly I was not able to get the multiplayer working... after I reset the gateway I can get it to work once, but never again until I have to reset the gateway. It baffles me that it would work once and then not again though. Here's the error I get in dxdiag.DirectPlay test results: Failure at step 9 (Creating Session): HRESULT = 0x80158185 (error code)The DVG1120 router is apparently much hated in the industry We got it for our voice over IP phone connection.Any ideas guys?Thanks,Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
