You need to add your network details in preferences

The xrange is working as it was intended to do, sending its data for viewing on Radarbox.com

At the request of users V6.00.03 was changed from 6.00.02 to allow the xrange2 to connect to the V6 software.  If you cannot get it to connect to V6 there must be something stopping the connection, i.e the wrong information in the preferences tab.  Nothing in V6 settings should interfere with data being sent to radarbox.com

I dont have an xrange myself or use V6.3 myself but a quick search of the xrange page on airnavradar,com gave the following instructions to connect to V6

Instructions
Before configuring the software, make sure that X-Range receiver is connected to the same network as your computer. Next, follow the instructions to configure the application:

Start up the application;
Go to "File" then click "Preferences";
Next click on the "RadarBox" tab;
In the "RadarBox New Firmware" section, please enter the local IP address of the unit;
Make sure that the "Port" is set to 32088;
Click “OK”;
The application should be able to detect the XRange receiver automatically. If not, please restart the application.

I am using exactly the same instructions to display aircraft on AirNav 6.02.003, which are picked by rbfeeder, installed on Raspberry Pi.

Please see attached screenshot.
Under "Radar Box New Firmware", the IP Address 192.168.12.24 is that of Raspberry Pi running rbfeeder.

A quick google for - How do I find the ip address of a device connected to my wifi shows

On a Windows computer
Open Command Prompt: Search for "cmd" in the Windows search bar and open Command Prompt.
Type arp -a and press Enter to display a list of devices on your network, their corresponding IP addresses, and MAC addresses.
