Problem report multiplayer:
Situation:
More gameplayers in fs2002, one host directly connected to the internet.
One player met ISA server as firewall that is configured to let go throught directplay packets

Direct play:
primary conn 47624 TCP Outbound
sec conn
2300-2400 UDP Send Recieve
2300-2400 TCP Inbound
2300-2400 TCP Outbound

firewall-client config is:

name: fs2002
serverbindtcp ports 2300-2400
remotebindupdports 2300-2400
killoldsession 1

firewallclient is active

Person (P1) behind the firewall (local net) can see the game that is hosted by someone else. In that game several other players are connected too (via internet). After clicking on the button 'join', the person P1 can join, but all others (except the host) are disconnected from the host. They can't join until person P1 has disconnected the host. Person 1 and the host can fly together.

What we have tried: full new installation of fs2002 (scenery, config etc fully deleted) on person P1's computer: same behaviour
New installation of DirectX 8.1: same result

The thing is, that it has worked before. The only change since then where upgrades to drivers for an audiocard. But also after reinstallation we had the same result.

Anyone some good idea's...
