Greetings,
I am having a problem with FSX connecting to the internet. Does anyone else know of such a problem and how to troubleshoot it? I think I've exhausted all options in fixing this. Thanks in advance for your help.........

Are you trying to connect to the FSX Multiplayer service via GameSpy? Or trying to fly online with VATSIM or IVAO? Or is it that the Wx won't download current information?

I'm sorry for lack of specifics. The WX wont download current info.

that's a common issue. Nothing you can do about it. Alot of times FSX/FS9 weather source (Jeppesen) has issues.

The consistent message i am getting when trying to download wx is asking me to check my internet connection and configuration. My internet connection and configuration is fine and my firewall is not blocking fsx.
