He means that he run his own Server and when he try to connect in his server through Interner (no LAN???) he can't creat a player cause a message appear about the nick name is already in use...

Do a complete player wipe (of ALL MP accounts). They can be found in

C:\my documents\my games\freelancer\accts\multiplayer
Delete all those files and then try. Your problem will be fixed.


*edit* - whoops - all my slashes were the wrong way round - been working on websites all day - doh!

I did this to myself once. If Chips suggestion don't work and If your where messing with the starting character, ship or loadout then your newcharacter.ini is not correct or you commented out the "package" in the MPnewcharacter.ini.
