We'll need a lot more info sto be able to help you.

How do you connect to the internet?
Any antivirus or firewalls that might be running?
What is the error message that you keep getting?

That'll all help.

OK .... sorry but more questions.

Is it a Modem or Router ?
Have you for the correct Ports open?
Is your Direct X the most up to date .... DX9c I think?

ummm...not sure...i think its a router
what?
yup

OK ...... if its a router you should be able to type into your browser 192.168.1.1 and get a  router setup page where you should be able to open ports.

If so then check the router and multiplayer tutes they have all the info you need.

guitarperson,

Also... if you are on a DSL connection without any firewall or virus software running... you are a "sitting duck" for virus and hacking issues.

In fact if that is true and your computer "suddenly was working one way andthen suddenly is NOT working that same way" and you have not changed anything........ I'd be looking for some software running that YOU did not install.

best,

Hi Guy
We have all been through the same thing until I signed up with A reliable airline that took me through all the steps on multi player.
I sign on every day 24/7 to fly my routes in privacy at my own pace.
So try the Noble Air Boston Site You will not be disapointed.

download ad-aware and run it to see if you have spyware

AHA........ just figured that out.  The wording of that message is a "The Zone" message.  

The Zone is useless.  I regularly fly multiplayer now..... but I always had such problems on "The Zone".  You could say that is "normal".

best,

I always connect online by typing in the IP address within FS, select the game room and then join. That way, I am directly connected to the Host's server without any of those middleman programs that take up processing power. It also allows for a more stable connection.

However, that only works if the host tells you the IP address of the server.
