It appears that I have no port 30003 output from my RB (2009).
I was happily sharing my live data on the PP network when all of sudden NADA !
It just stopped outputting info, as far as I know I have changed nothing.
I have also tried SBSPlotter to check for any output (after switching off PP) and that too reports no output.
I have also wireshark to monitor port 30003 and nothing.
Is this a hardware failure or a software problem or even a USER problem.
Help !
-
Restart RB and it should be fine.
The port does not like 2 connections, so if you connected with something else it would have probably got upset and stopped outputting.
-
As far as I know there are no other connections on this port.
Using Active Ports application it shows nothing connected on this port or accessing this port before firing up either Planeplotter or SBSPlotter.
Any suggestions on how to check for something using this port or connecting to the RB?

Tallyho, have to tried the Windows program TelNet to check your port 30003 output? You can view the output from port 30003 using this program. Under WindowsXP this can be found on the \WINDOWS\system32 directory. Though as AirNav Support suggests above, reboot first and have nothing else running other than RadarBox and TelNet. Once you have started TelNet type in "open localhost 30003" at the prompt (without the quotes). After a while you should see messages like this...
MSG,3,0,0,400EFD,0,2009/02/20,11:31:58.109,2009/02/20,11:36:58.109,EZY9RA,32875,396,328,54.3889,-2.5191,-1024,6033,0,0,0,0 MSG,3,0,0,4006B9,0,2009/02/20,11:31:58.109,2009/02/20,11:36:58.109,TCX652K,12900,333,264,53.6832,-2.3085,2048,1160,0,0,0,0 MSG,3,0,0,400A14,0,2009/02/20,11:31:58.109,2009/02/20,11:36:58.109,EZY10XH,39000,391,324,52.9354,-1.4900,2240,5430,0,0,0,0
that will tell you at least that RadarBox is outputing something to port 30003.
-
Open a DOS window and type:
netstat -an -p tcp
This will show which TCP ports are in use.
-
Thanks I'll try that later when I am home and let you know.
All signs at the moment are that nothing is coming out of 30003 though :o(

As I suspected on RB start up I get ...
TCP 0.0.0.0:30003 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
Then when I fire up SBSPLOTTER I get the connections established between the two apps
TCP 0.0.0.0:30003 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:1721 127.0.0.1:30003 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:30003 127.0.0.1:1721 ESTABLISHED
but no output in SBSPLOTTER, so in my mind this points to RB not outputting anything on 30003.
No other entries for port 30003.
Same results when I stop SBSPLOTTER and start PLANEPLOTTER.
TCP 0.0.0.0:30003 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
Then fire up PLANEPLOTTER and I get but no local plots showing...
TCP 0.0.0.0:30003 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP 127.0.0.1:1864 127.0.0.1:30003 ESTABLISHED
TCP 127.0.0.1:30003 127.0.0.1:1864 ESTABLISHED
It would all point to a problem with RB and output on port 30003
AirNav Support any ideas?

but no output in SBSPLOTTER, so in my mind this points to RB not outputting anything on 30003.
That's exactly what I would expect.
You need to wait for 5 minutes after RB has started before the delayed socket messages start to be output.

Er, on v2.01? Thought it isn't delayed.

Hi People....
Well, at least here, in just starting RB and telneting localhost 30003 the data came inmediatelly.....
A lotta MSG, 3 bla , bla
I do not nedd to wait for the 5 mins.
Cheers

Ok I definatley have a problem with RB as you can see from this screen shot I have a number of local aircraft plotting but the output to port 30003 is about one entry a minute if I am lucky. See port 30003 times in the Telnet window.
Also all entries appear to be MSG,1, not MSG,3, as others have stated!
I'm at a loss, is my box buggered ?
Any ideas?

Any suggestions welcome, the main reason I paid out was to get access to local data!

Just to clarify RadarBox the hardware has nothing to do with port data appearing or not as such.
The software outputs the ports, nothing should affect the ports unless either you have setup firewalls to block the ports or either software hacking or the software is corrupted.
I would suggest a reinstall. We don't have any other ideas after that I am afraid.
-
I have reinstalled RB2009 with the latest download from your website but still no joy.
The only thing I can think of that I have installed recently is .Net Framework 3.5SP1 can you confirm that you are not aware of any issues with this and RB2009.
PS - I have just noticed that pressing the Polar Plotter Icon just blanks the screen
thanks

The .NET service pack has not broken RB on my Vista Home Premium, and Squawkbox works on port 30003 too.
-
Just one thought. You're not running an SBS-1 as well by any chance. That output MSG types 1.
-
Keith, as Tarbat suggests you must be getting this output from another system. RadarBox does not output MSG type 1, just MSG type 3. This is confirmed if you look at the data output in the TelNet window of your screen shot. You should be able see flight TOM4332 on your map with its reported Lat/Lon of 50.7515/1.4722 but you can't. Also, the reported altitude for flight BMA895 of 15025 does not correspond with that reported in your RadarBox interface panel.
I can confirm that there are no problems with using RadarBox 2009 with .Net Framework 3.5 SP1 nor when using SquawkBox with it.
-
It's not an SBS, as the heading and speed are integers like RB.
If you're not running a firewall and anti-virus software, I'd suggest starting over with the recovery disk you got when you bought the computer.
-
Thanks for the suggestions but as you can see from the screenshot I have nothing running but RB2009 and Telnet, so unless there is a rogue process producing RB/SBS type output on port 30003 on my machine. As for rebuilding my machine... no thanks I'd rather sell the RB... I have too much business software loaded on. :o)
Really frustrating I want to get to the bottom of this, I have been sharing 24/7 for months and now all of a sudden it just stops !

Reinstall RB and see if that helps.
-
........unless there is a rogue process producing RB/SBS type output on port 30003 on my machine.
Try a Telnet to port 30003 without Radarbox running.
-
Also, make sure you have no unwanted programmes running - Lamers Death has a penchant for port 30003...

Telnet> open localhost 30003 without RB2009 running gives...
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 30003:
Connect failed
As expected....
Uninstalled RB2008 (just in case), reinstalled RB2009 from website....
Started up RB2009
Telnet> open localhost 30003 with RB2009 running gives...

that is MSG,1,.... every now and again (about 1 per minute if I am lucky).
That kind of tells me it is definatley RB2009 that is sending these messages to port 30003 but where are all the MSG,3.... messages?
It's really baffling me as it is all pointing to a RB software problem but Support you say you do not output MSG,1, type messages on port 30003 ??????

Dear Support...
Looking through my newly downloaded clean Rb 2009 folder I noticed a newly created file called ANRB.elf which is apparently a Eureka Log File (whatever that is) !!!!
In this file it has lots of information about my setup and system but I noticed that it contains details of an exception being experienced by ANRB.exe.
Could this be a clue to the cause of all my problems?
Details as below...
EurekaLog 6.0.6

If this doesn't help ...
I am going to try uninstalling RB2009 completely clean out the folder structure and registry settings and start completely afresh.
-
Keith, I also have an ANRB.elf file, though my exception is an EConvertError.
Have you checked your memory resident tasks and startup programs to see if your SBSPlotter or PlanePlotter has installed anything that is always running when Windows starts (see my pm).
-
Don't worry about the elf, its a debug file. Its not saying anything problametic about the port either.
-
Problem solved.
I had to uninstall RB2009 clean down the directories that were left behind after the uninstall and then re-install it again.
Hey presto port 30003 was up and working again!!!
God knows what it was but something somewhere must have been corrupted and causing the problems.
