If you have a firewall, disable it and see if that fixes your problem.
If it does, you'll need to configure your firewall to allow Freelancer
traffic.

I believe the list server is: 207.46.204.209. You could try doing a
'tracert' from a dos prompt and see if whether it makes it to the server.

Peace sells...but who's buyin'?

why would i need to mess with that? it worked fine when i installed it yesterday, it works fine for other multiplayer things too. including other microsoft games,


im on ADSL, so i cant disable my firewall without getting hacked

Running ADSL has no bearing at all on the probability of being hacked.
The odds of you getting hacked during the 5 minutes (tops) that you'd
need to disable your firewall and run freelancer are somehwere between
piss-poor and unbelievable. As to 'why' you should have to mess with
it, I have no idea, but I don't own your computer or control access to
it, so I do not assume that a) your firewall hasn't been 'messed' with
since your game last worked properly, or b) that your game ever
worked appropriately in the first place.
