When trying to connect directly to host in FSX I get the error "Cannot create connection to host".
I have tried turning off firewalls but still no joy.

Any suggestions ?

You will need to be running fsx with sp1 and sp2 or acceleration.

You shouldn't need to turn your firewall off.

Can you connect to the same host in Gamespy?

Check in fsx that your ports are set 6112 to 6122

Also, don't forget, the IP address changes so you'll need to check what the numbers are before joining the session. Another thing is that if you have tried to re-enter the session too soon after you have either been unexpectedly rejected, left the server at your own accord or the server is being reset, give it a couple of minutes then try again.

Hope this helps :o)
