Found that the game stores the "Played On" servers IP even if its not current and doesnt updated after a refesh. So only way I got around it was to manually add the IP from the command line. Then join via lan and then it would show the correct IP.

ed: if you are finding your servers IP from the game, then easier to get it via dos, so:

from Startbar:run: type cmd.exe to open a dos window
for 98/me type winipcfg
for 2k/XP type ipconfig to see your IP

You edit the desktop icon add a option in TARGET, like you would CS/Q3 etc

e.g. for Elites server looks like this

C:\GAMES\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe -s131.107.83.10:992

NB you have to add the correct port as well, even if its the default 2302.

To add a server to the server list, use the following syntax:
FREELANCER.EXE -s<hostname>:<port>

i did this on my lan client from dos box(server all ready up)
e:\freelancer\exe
freelancer.exe -s213.249.178.127:2302
the game ran went in multiplayer seen my server on list
with lan ip
join it
still no one else joined yet

do i do what you say on my client or on the server

Only the the client, its cause the master server takes a while to update with the new IP.
