  1. Hi Urs...just a short update that I was able to connect, but in an unexpected way. I set the server IP4 to a static address and then configured the client software on a laptop to that address. But instead of using a connection via RJ45 to the router, I selected a WIFI connection for the laptop. Viola - the client now connects to the server! Thank you for your assistance in working this solution. Scott
  2. Thanks Urs - I understand the difficulty of setting this up remotely. I tried a different gateway address but that did not work. I will look for some local expertise who can see my system and perhaps configure the router and client differently.
  3. Hi Urs - I will admit to not understanding the alchemy of networks and settings... When I did the above procedure, I set the client IP address to 192.168.7.141, the subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, the default gateway to 192.168.7.1 (same as server), and the DNS servers to the Google hubs...but then the status told me no internet was available. Is something wrong with the client IP address or the gateway I set? Thanks, Scott
  4. Thanks Jonas for the suggestions...I turned off DHCP and set a static IP4 address and DNS servers (Google 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4)...but no joy in the connection with either the IP address or the PC name. The static address has '(Preferred)' text behind it -- not sure if that means anything, but my machine was set to dynamic with that wording and remained the same when I set the static address. With the PC name set on the client I receive the popup "Could not resolve IP address for computer 'DESKTOP-XYZABC'. Please make sure computer ....is running and connected to the local network. I still have my firewalls off and UAC at the lowest level on both machines. Appreciate any other ideas to check. Scott
  5. Mr. ATC - Regret not using my real first name. Corrected in the profile settings. Using P3D V4.3 Using FSUIPC 5.132 Using W10 64 bit 1803 Updated UAC disabled (lowest setting) on both server and client When I first installed V2 I placed the client on the server PC. In that configuration the server exchanged data with the client and performed as expected. I have removed the client from the Flight Sim/server PC and installed the client on a laptop. Both server and client PC are connected via RJ45 to the same modem/router. I did read through the chapters of the manual. The only process I am not sure about is that in chapter 3 concerning the server and firewall. "1.1.1 Firewall Since the Server uses the TCP/IP communication infrastructure of your computer it might be blocked by the Windows Firewall by default. This is dependent of the settings of the UAC (user access control) of your computer. Please press “Unblock” to allow the Server to communicate with the Client(s)." I do not know where the "Unblock" button is displayed or accessed. Files attached. Thank you in advance for your support. Scott Server_201807261304.txt.zip Client_201807261308.txt.zip
  6. I have the client laptop connected to my router by cable along with my server and flight sim machine. I have reviewed the board discussions of this topic but none seem to do the trick. I am running build #55 pf the server and build #72 on the client software. The server software recognizes P3D v4.3.29.25520 but doesn't appear to see the client. For the client I used the IP4 address of the server PC. Any suggestions on what I should do next? I have turned off all firewalls on both PCs. Thanks.
