No longer works after update

[tbennett8877]

I did the cardinal sin of updating Windows and my iPad at the same time. I updated Windows to 11 24H2. After the update my external wifi adapter was not recognized by the computer, so after several troubleshooting attempts if just connected to an ethernet port. At the same time, I updated my iPad to IOS 18.1. Now, FS2FF shows connected, but I can't connect to FF on my iPad.

My guess is that you have the auto detect checked. ForFlight sends a broadcast packet that says "here's my IP" and FS2FF uses it. Now that your PC is wired and your iPad is still wireless the router might be blocking the packets from one subnet to the next. You will need to look on the iPad for it's IP address then put that IP in the input box of FS2FF. I've been doing updates to FS2FF on my branch and have it working with the more efficient GDL90 protocol. It works with any EFB that supports GDL90 of ethernet: https://github.com/jeffdamp-wave/fs2ff/releases/tag/v1.8.4

Thank you for your reply. I had already added my iPad ip address and tried to manually connect to no avail. I loaded the new version (1.8.4, thank you) and it still did not work. I will have to go with it is a Windows 11 24H2 issue. I am reading that it has many internet connectivity problems. https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/new-windows-11-24h2-fail-kills-the-internet-for-some-users [https://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/VkvE6eNH75xit53BmwXpB7-1200-80.jpg]<https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/new-windows-11-24h2-fail-kills-the-internet-for-some-users> New Windows 11 24H2 fail kills the internet for some users<https://www.techradar.com/computing/windows/new-windows-11-24h2-fail-kills-the-internet-for-some-users> No internet blues www.techradar.com

A couple more thoughts. FS2FF uses simple UDP packets to send data. Could be a firewall setting in windows that isn't auto opening. Ports to enabled would be UDP 4000, UDP 49002, UDP 63093. Maybe also double check that the iPad didn't turn on private IP. https://support.apple.com/guide/ipad/use-a-private-network-address-ipad5f03c96d/ipados. Finally check to make sure you can ping the iPad from your PC. command prompt.

I cannot ping my iPad or router with the firewall on or off (192.168.5.248/192.168.4.1). I can however ping websites. [cid:19a56689-5e68-4a71-a2ea-1128c6554c37]

I had to delete Windows and do a new Windows install. It took Microsoft 2 weeks to figure it out. I appreciate your help.
