I got SBRelay rto work fine on my old PC, but when I recently got a new one
I have been having problems with it. When I opened it up it says:

041023 18:11:28 ERROR creating FS2004 session. DirectX is reporting an error
because UDP port 6073 is already in use. This can often be fixed by disabling
your firewall or reconfiguring it to allow this port to be used by FSHost.
McAfee's PrivacyService can also cause this problem. Some users have also
reported that disconnecting their router from the internet before starting
FSHost can fix the problem.

Now I don't know what could be using the port, and I dont have widows firewall
up. Please help as I would really like to get flying again.

Are you using a router?

Make sure you have UDP port 6073 open, for starters.
