connection IM?

--- Quote from: EricL ---Port 21 is the command port, port 20 is used for the data (bot and population file) transfer by the FTP libraries.

The other ports are probably short lived ephemeral ports used to receive replies to FTP operations.

I already though port 21 had to do something with it, it is close to 20.

Can't find any reference in the router that it is blocking anything that comes from this.

I gues it would be a good idea if others with the same problem also post. I believe I am not the only only one with those connection problems. I think it is strange it works for a part, if something was blocking something it would probably be for the whole broke.
If I understand it right you don't have a single problem, Eric?

The only problem I experience is that my connection fails after a day or two.  Restarting the simulator addresses that and it probably has something to do with server session limits.  Switching to the out-of-proc FTP connection code Nums has provided me (which I plan to do at some point) moving to a different FTP server or both may address this.

Occasional, temporary errors are to be expected due to collisions on files.  Part of me just wants to hide the log window as it gives the often incorrect impression there are problems.  One can generally ignore the errors if bots are coming through and the Internet Populations graph is working correctly.  The simulator should be resilient to such problems.

My log is attached.

Internet population graph doesn't really work. I doesn't open. Is that an sign.
Hiding the log-window, is maybe something for later. If IM can be guarenteed 100%.

How many do there come at IM, I see nobody else besides you.(that was when I could see the IM graphs properly).

EricL:
The IM Population graph opens automatically when you enter internet mode.  Are you certain it's not behind your main sim window?

I have 2 machines connected to IM at the moment.  Usually 3 or 4 others join throughout the day then go away.

Peter:
No, there not behind the main sim window.

The graphs where minimised, and they're not coming back at screen if I click at them.
Now I don't have that problem. Except the graphs just come in very slowly. The sim itself also loads slow if I try to maximise it.
And sometimes the graphs just become white all over.
Short, sometimes the sim and graphs look stuck. It looks like it are periodes(maybe graph updating??) where the sim and graphs act stuck.

Anyway image attached of the blank graphs. Maybe you get an idea.

Edit
With slow I mean, I could take a minute before you would see the graphs/sim popup.
