Impossible to connect between 2 players

[marc2990]

Hello
I would like to participate in the CIX VFR event next Monday. So I am practising for a couple of days already, but I never get a good result. I started with JoinFS end of last year and never had a problem with getting a network set up with someone else. Lately it is very different.
Yesterday I had the Test version installed. We never got as far as getting connected (always on both sides "orange" network); even with making myself a hub, it would not work. I finally uninstalled the "test" and reinstalled the stabile version and magic, there we got our connection.
Today we both started with the stabile version, both neither creating nor joining would succeed; alsways orange network, whatever we tried. Until I decided to try via a hub; and yes that worked. Then my fellow pilot tried on the same hub and yes, we both could fly tonight.
Can you tell me what is going on?
Cheers
Marcel

Does "host" has ports forwarded and open (6112) ?

Hi Marcel,

Are you connecting to the same person that you used to connect to or is it somebody different?

it sounds as though one of you may need to configure port forwarding on your router. Have either of you done that for port 6112?

Would you like to meet up on CIX TS tomorrow (Friday)? I'll be available most of the day and that will probably be the quickest way to resolve the problem.

OK Peter, TS server of CIX is ok. Just tell me when would be convenient for you.
Cheers
Marcel

[Peter]

1400z ok?

Peter

[marc2990]

OK, I'll be there.
Marcel

[marc2990]

I try but can not get on the server. Other ones work...
Marcel.

[Peter]

Yes, the CIX TS server appears to be offline. Do you have another one where we can meet up?

[marc2990]

you know the one of Sim-Outhouse Flight center?
Or we can Skype or Facetime. I could give you my mail address in a PM at the CIX forum?

[Peter]

Try this one, ts3.digitalthemepark.com.

Hello Peter
Sorry to bother you again.
When we discussed I had a lan connection to the internet. I disconnected that because I also have a good Wifi. So my IPv4 address changed from 192.168.0.120 to 192.168.0.121. I switched my portforwarding 6112 also to that address.
When I now start JoinFS I get a blank space where normally my IP address is showing. When I put my curser on the spot and try to type the numbers in, I get the following unexpected error message:

I do seem able to connect to one of the hubs.
I do seem to be able to create a session (green with 1 node). Only the space for the IP address stays empty and I do not know if anyone can connect to me. I also do not know what IP address I would have to give to anyone who wants to make contact.
Turning back to IP 120 for portforwarding does not help either.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Marcel.

Hi Marcel,

this is a known bug. It's fixed in version 1.1.7, coming soon.

Your client will be fully functional, just don't click on the blank IP box. If you need to know your IP address just check here, http://ipv4.icanhazip.com/.

Sorry about the inconvenience.

Peter
