Paul, I don't have a router, just a USB modem. It certainly has nothing to do with SP2. If so I would have been kicked out plenty more times. It has something to do with other people not opening up all their ports. Now for example yesterday I got kicked out the moment a player with the name Singapore 657 came on. I managed to come back but just a minute later things went wrong again the moment we were about to take off. I tried to connect again for the following 30 minutes but without any succes.
I just tried it again, it's 4.18 GMT nobody is online, and I can connect everytime without any problem.
Oh well like I said better luck tomorrow in the Aussie tour. See you then,
Crash

Hi Crash...!
It's still strange....
Many of my flying chums on our flights get thrown off/disconnected many times during the sessions....
...but it never happens to me, either on my previous Dial-Up*, or now on Broadband**....

...!
I often wonder if it's because I don't have any blocking programs like Firewalls, Anti-Virus, etc, running in the background which may prevent the Multiplayer Service Provider from gaining access to my computer for the process of running the Multiplayer program...

...!
Shhhhh....My drawbridge is always down during our flights...

...!
Other Folks connection problems don't seem to affect me...
....Na-nana-na-na...
...Tee-Hee...

P.S. Just in case you are wondering, I do carry out regular Virus/Spyware, etc, checks every two minutes...(I exaggerate)...
