My old wireless router couldn't handle the amount of computers we had running through it, so I went out and bought a pretty expensive Linksys E3000. Definitely handling everything much better... except for my online flying. I connect fine to SB3 but I get the dreaded "Connecting to mulitplayer session via lobby" message that doesn't go away. Impossible to fly with. I did a google search and there were lots of responses, but none worked or I understood. I tried turning off my firewall through the Control Settings, with no luck.

FS9
SB3
Windows Vista
Uninstalled the anti virus that came with Vista and everything was working fine up until the new router.

Might be a port forwarding setting will do some digging.

Just started having the same problems as first posted above out of no where. One day came home, went to connect for a flight and all of a sudden it's giving me the "connecting to multiplayer..." message again. I have tried to come back here redo what I did before with the router, but with no luck. Any ideas?
