Hi Jerry, Ben and co.If my multiplayer fiasco today spoiled your enjoyment I do apologise, thanks for the patience and perseverance. I'd like to crack the problem, but with the cost of a two hour telephone connection in the UK being so high, I really can't justify wasting much more time without success. One more try perhaps.
Ben, you could be right about the shared modem connection's IP being hijacked by the server sharing it - do you have a note of the IP you were seeing? But in the recent trial run for multiplayer, I DID manage to connect and fly successfully when Jerry was hosting (I think I had trouble connecting when you were the host). At that time I didn't have RW running - maybe the problem is just too much workload for my poor little 233MHz CPU.
During my 45 minute absence in the middle of the flight, I installed a local modem, and logged on again shortly before you all landed. My first observation with the new modem, once I'd got the settings right, was that the computer was responding very roughly, sluggishly, even before starting FS. I found Jerry still had a flight running so I tried to join that. Twice I managed to connect and start FS, but on both occasions the modem lost the connection more or less immediately after I started flying.
