Cannot go Online Linux Version

[turtle]

For some reason this GUI makes the game run beautifully on my Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit PC. The only downside vs. FGo! (other GUI) that I have is getting online. I get the multiplayer menu option in the menubar, but when I check the pilot list there is no one listed online. I did a test at the same time with FGo! and there was pilots online. I even asked them if anyone had been on for the last 10 minutes, and a couple of them responded "yes".

Graphics Command Line:
--multiplay=out,10,mpserver07.flightgear.org,5000
--multiplay=in,10,computername,5000

Any idea what might needed to be tweaked?

Operating System: Ubuntu 11.04 64 bit
FG Version: 2.4.0 Deb
Details: Network for FGRun - Not working; FGo! - working

Graphics Command Line:
--multiplay=out,10,mpserver07.flightgear.org,5000
--multiplay=in,10,computername,5000

Try removing "computername" from the --multiplay=in,... argument

--multiplay=out,10,mpserver07.flightgear.org,5000
--multiplay=in,10,,5000

More often than not "computername" doesn't resolve to a valid network interface IP address and makes FG fail to bind the socket to the required port. Hence, FG won't receive any MP data.

Thanks that seemed to solve the problem.

Huge thanks for this. I'm finally online myself.
