FS 2002 and Flight Sim 9. I installed a network and a
DLINK router. Now I cannot connect to my flight buddies
through MSN Mess. If I take the router out of the link
and use dialup and internal modem, I can connect. I have
XP and use DSL with the router. I read about NAT
problems but using a proxy server is only for WIN 2000
not XP. I have opened ports per findings on the NET, but
still canoot connect. I need to hear from someone with a
router and how they have made corrections. Thanks...Fly
OFTEN and have fun.

Were these the ports you forwarded from the router to your PC?
