Just bought a new pc with windows 7.

After installing il-2 I cannot play online anymore.

I used to host games, but now, people can't connect with me. Disabled antivirus, firewall, etc.

No joy...

Any and all help apreciated!

1. Did you use a router with the older computer?
2. Do you use a router with the new computer?

Ditto Aviar's question. If you're beind a router and you don't have the right ports open/forwarded to your host machine, no one will be able to see or connect to your server.

Make sure you have these ports open and forwarding to the internal IP of the computer that has IL2 running on it:
Start port: 21000
End Port: 21010
Destination (your pc) 192.168.1.9

That's probably it then. As mentioned above, you will have to configure your router if you wish to host.

You may have to search the forums for a solution, unless someone can walk you through it here.
