Hi Julien, It may be something deeper than this, but my very first thought when you mention socket communication problems on Windows XP is to check the firewall settings.
If you are brave (or have a well patched or well isolated machine) you could try turning off the firewall and see if this improves your situation. Or you could leave the firewall on and make sure that the ports you using are open. If you have some sort of 3rd party firewall or virus protection, maybe that also could be getting in the way and preventing basic socket communication from working? That's just a thought. I didn't see which version of FlightGear you are running so if you are running an older version, you might try upgrading ... I know that every once in a while we have spotted bugs or made improvements in the socket communication and generic protocol layer of the FlightGear code. Regards, Curt.
