Are you trying to connect to a server for MULT-PLAYER or trying to connect to a server for REAL WORLD WEATHER? Please state which one so someone can help you out with the problem.

gates: make sure advanced animations is checked then hit Ctrl+J when parked near one.

As for the server problems I'm not sure but the SP1 for FSX has caused me a lot of problems.  I was having the same problem as you seem to be so I uninstalled FSX and put on a fresh install, as well as SP1 and its seemed to clear up my problems.  I haven't tried Multi but I have my hopes.

yea thanks i have tryed reinstalling before and dident work i havent tryed sp1 but i will. and when im at a gate and click ctrl=j nothing happends. and ctrl=j is set to the jetway thingy. and i do got the advanced animations on.

Try increasing the timeout and keep alive figures after pressing the network settings button which you'll see when in the first screen when going into multiplayer.

Then your video card is most likely not able to do it. What type of card do you have?

Chris,
Go to your main FSX directry and find a file called display.cfg
Open this file using note pad.
Once open scroll down and look for "NVidia Cards"
once you find that look in that section for this:

NVIDIA GeForce FX5200
