When I get into Squawkbox, it won't pick up servers so I can't connect to vatsim. Please help if you can.

I would check your firewall first.

Also, shutting down the firewall can sometimes shut down certain ports that you need, so I would not recommend doing that again!

Am having the same problem here. Tried to contact Squawkbox but they have yet to resond, about two weeks now! My firewall was completely shut down and still got message that stated it would not connect to multi-player session. My problem started when I updated my Trend PC Cillon. That is the program I used to have, it expired, I renewed and now can't get acceptance of PC Cillon. Have had IT support from a couple of different sources come over and check things out, best they can say is that this is Squawkbox's problem and to report a bug. What good does that do when Sbox won't acknowledge any problems at all?

Jerry, I am 99% certain that if SB3 stopped working after a security software update, it is NOT an SB3 bug; it's the software preventing it from downloading a new server list from the internet. There are a number of issues with Norton and McAfee "security" packages and SB3, almost invariably they are due to these packages blocking things that they claim they are not doing.
To be honest, the XP SP2 built-in firewall and AVG will probably give you the best performance, excellent security and won't cost you a penny.
Cheers!

Luke: That is what we were thinking, so we tried with firewall disabled, and also with firewall program uninstalled completely from system...still no good.
