hey ok but where is the multiplayer thing u are talking about

GO TO LOUNGE ONCE YOU SELECT AL,LE OR SOMETHING THEN TO TO FORUMS THEN GO TO MULITPLAYER THEN YOU WILL SEE IP FOR TAYLOR

ok ill try and let u know

also do i type the periods or dots between numbers???????sorry.

Yes 209.107.54.110 sorry bout that

sorry man i dont know what is wrong i typed your corrected ip and clicked search and nothing happened. thanks anyway

oh did it say connection failed not all players were able to join that because your router does not mix with some elses router that is already on or something like that

no it doesnt do anthing at all. the time thing goes next to the mouse (arrow) and just goes away

hmmmm that's just weired I would reinstall flight sim but I dought that is the problem hmmmm I'll post a link to this to get help from more people

ok thanks

Reinstalling FS is not going to solve the problems. The problem that I don't know if someone lacking the knowledge to know that the are periods in an IP address, will be able to give me enough information about their firewall or broadband router if they have one, to provide any assistance.

please explain the routers
P.S.
thanks for insulting me ive never played multiplayer before

Stop feeling insulted. I'd say the same thing about someone who wanted to tune up an auto engine if he'd said he didn't know where to check the oil. I have a long history of believing that people who use something should have a clue as to how it works. The longer I live, the more I realize that fewer and fewer people share that belief,

I am assuming (bad me) that you have a broadband router. In its administration page, you will find something called port forwarding. You have to set it so that whatever port FS uses for multiplayer is sent to the "internal or local" IP address of the computer FS is running on. Usually that IP address is 192.168.blah.blah.

I will assume (again, bad me) that you can determine your computer's local IP address.

ok ill try
