I need some help troubleshooting a network issue that is pretty specific to one particular piece of flight sim payware software.

John I found this on a random forum for that runtime error:

It's a WinSock error, I'm not all that sure why TCP/IP would do this, but you could try reinstalling it [Control Panel > Network Connections > Local Area Network Connection > Properties > TCP/IP).


seems like a logical next step, if you havent tried this already

Here is a WinSock reference

http://www.sockets.com/err_lst1.htm

here is an explination of the error:

10047 - WSAEAFNOSUPPORT, Address family not supported by protocol family.
An address incompatible with the requested protocol was used. All sockets are created with an associated "address family" (i.e. AF_INET for Internet Protocols) and a generic protocol type (i.e. SOCK_STREAM). This error will be returned if an incorrect protocol is explicitly requested in the socket call, or if an address of the wrong family is used for a socket, e.g. in sendto.
