My PC can't find the servers

Postby landersohn » Fri Nov 08, 2013 10:15 pm

I am trying to get into the multiplayer thing but I cannot find the servers:
when I ping ,playerxx.flightgear.org my DNS can not resolve the hostname. Second quesion, how do I have to configure my router for this to work?
Port triggering?

I ran fgfs 2.12 under ubuntu and multiplay worked fine. Under windows 7, using the same router I get an error that fgfs can ot bind to port 5000 with errno 2 (no such file or directory). Any ideas?

I could be a firewall setting I guess.

I'll double check but I thought I turned all firewall babysitting stuff off on my windows box and given my experience under ubuntu, I don't think its the router
