When I activate FSINN it usually launches the multiplayer session as well... I am receiving this error now when I load FSINN. Any suggestions, I know some of you FSINN guys out there may know.

Kevin, that happens to me quite often as well. I have resolved this problem by simply going into Multi-Player from the drop-down menu and clicking on connect. Make sure that your settings is also established as "localhost" so that FSInn can read your I address. If you ever wonder what that is..go to www.ipchicken.com. This will tell you exactly what your IP address is.
Regards,

I have FSInn set to localhost, but what is weird is that I can see the other aircraft on radar, servinfo picks me up, I can see and hear ATC online, but I cannot see other aircraft. Under Multiplayer Connect I have only one session to pick from:
FWInn (Kevin-PC) (0ms) [I]
Is this right?

I just installed SB4 and I am having the same affect, I cannot see anyone. So... I have no clue what happened.... I do use O&O Defrag and AVG anitvirus.

Another thing I have noticed is that when I am online in the "Inn Plane" section the arrows light up then dim. It constantly does this now for some strange reason. Here is what I am seeing, I can connect, but still cannot see anyone.

ok... here's the deal, I fixed it, but I had to roll my computer back almost a month. I went into my computer updater and I looked to see what had been installed. To my surprise, AVG had installed a new Network security driver. I rolled back past when I installed that and now I FS9 works perfectly again on VATSIM. Does anyone else use AVG and Vista with FS9? If you do, have you had any problems lately? The only problem now is, I can't update my AVG because of the risk it implies again.

Kevin...Yes and Yes. I use AVG and my PC is a Vista machine. I believe you hit the nail on the head with the AVG update. Thats about the same time my FSInn ran home to mama and stopped showing me other a/c on-line. I recently downloaded/installed payware a/c so I am going to have to find another way other than rolling back to a month ago. Thanks for the investigative work!

Uninstall DirectX and reinstall. It did the trick for me.

ok, well, here's what I got now. I can see other aircraft, but I cannot see their callsign. I also can't load servers from the setup menu for FSINN... It is funny, there is always something different upon every installation of FSinn... why?!?!

Kevin, I am having the same issue , I researched it and it seems that the problem is with AVG INTERNET SECURITY FIREWALL, according to some people from other internet forums, some of them disable AVG FIREWALL before going on multiplayer (of course you need to turn windows firewall on to get some protection) , and they are able to see other aircraft.. now, I tried it myself and it didn't work for me... FREE AVG with no firewall apparently is not causing this problem. I hope AVG fixes this because its not fun to fly online and not able to see fellow airplanes.
