You guys probably know what you're doing .... I didn't and configured the wrong Network Icon (in the System Tray) and FSHost kept going to the wrong page when it tried to Register. After I straightened that out ... works great!

I dont know if anyone else is having problems, or if any of you are STILL having problems, but there should be a thing in your Router Configurations to set up what is called "DMZ HOST".  You lock it to YOUR COMPUTERS ip address (192.168.2.X) and it will allow all communications "for games" on all ports.   I use it religiously because I too run FS2004, FSHost, ATCRadar Screen 5, FSNav, TeamSpeak Server & Client.  As you can assume, there is A LOT of communicating going on in a matter of milliseconds, I need EVERYTHING open and I dont feel like figuring out what each needs individually and then setting up to 100 ports for each one... thats up 600 ports!!!!! NO! Just use DMZ HOST.

Capt.Propwash,
   Thanks for your response .... I'm just catching up.  I have no router except for my Hughes HN7000S which can't be accessed .... but the plan is to install one anyway.  Lot's to learn him ....  and I'm working on it.
