Here you have the log of JoinFS made by diagnostic with the last version 2.0.4 We have made a try do connect with always the problem : my friend don't see me Please bear in mind that 2.x.x is incompatible with 1.x.x so all will need to update, including the CIX hub. I released it last night so it should ask you to update when you run it. This is now fixed in JoinFS version 2.0.4. I don't know if you have seen all the other posts but a connection problem has arisen over recent days due to a web service returning incorrect information which has caused a lot of people to be unable to connect. There is no real need to configure port forward unless you are creating sessions. So basically, it's not a problem to see random ports, unless they have configured port forwarding on their router in which case it should be 6112. When the data comes back to the router's port it remembers the translation and redirects it back to 6112 on your PC. The 6112 default JoinFS port is on your PC, so when data is sent to the internet is goes out of 6112 on your PC, arrives at your router, but by default (no port forwarding) the router hardware can send it out from any port. That's basically the router job, to translate addresses and ports as they go out and come in to your home network. The port that you see in the session window is their router port that has been chosen by the router to communicate with. Thanks for your comments, always welcome. If it's not 6112, then your router is doing some port allocation and may explain why they can't connect to you on 6112. Ask them what port number it shows next to your name in the list. This usually involves setting a Port Forward on the router, however it's not unknown for some ISPs to be awkward with their networking and restrict your use of external ports.Ī possible test would be to connect as you are to an existing hub and ask the other person to look at the User/Session view in JoinFS.

JoinFS only uses UDP, so basically you need your router to be able to get UDP packets externally at port 6112 and make sure they arrive at your PC on 6112. I need to activate my VPN to properly run FSXWX (My Internet provider is Orange which seems to ban some FSXWX TCP links. We'd like to enable a hub since we are several members of our club flying together, some are flyinf FSX-SE, FSX, P3D, and also MSFS2020. (his network button is orange)īut we can both connect to any existing green hub available and see each other. In fact my friend cannot connect to my server when I activate my VPN. and both simulators are alive and buttons are green.
