G3 Hosting

[Steve Rogers]

I'm trying to host a session & when I follow the directions on my end everything seems ok but the session dosent show up on the "join" end and when I give someone the IP add. & port # there end says it failed to send pilot information folder or something to that effect.
Colud someone tell me what you have to do to get a host session to work properly?

Thanks,
Steve

Did you map the port in your router?

[Steve Rogers]

No.
Dont have a clue there. Could you fill me in on that?

[cdrking]

Or do you have a firewall installed and set to on? I've found with mine on it doesn't work.

No firewall installed.

I think Will is on to it because I think when the other party inputs the IP & port # they get a check network configuration type error.

There is a port you have to map in your router to host G3. I forgot which one. PM Rodney or BigVanVader and they can help.

[Kinger]

Is it 2302?

[BigVanVader]

I wish I could help but I cant.....I cant host sessions either.....when I try and host I get an error that says"unable to find public IP address,please check network configuration".....im sure I need to forward a port but im clueless as to how to do it....when i was on dial-up i had no problem hosting...then i got DSL and im assuming it has to do with the DSL modem.

[Steve Rogers]

BVV thats the same error I get (just could remember it when I posted before!) I as well have DSL. If you figure anything out PLEASE let me know.

Thanks,
Steve

this is a problem many G3 owners are facing (including me) , I checked the support forum on realflight.com and many are complaining with no one answering them..

they mentioned something about G3 not being compatible with NAT , I do not know what NAT is! I also tried everything, I disabled all firewall and even the norton antivirus.. still no effect! same "cannot find IP..." problem..

i'll look more into it and get back to you guys!
