Playing as client same sever

Wed Jun 08, 2005 8:50 am by jAGGhammer

I want to play on the sever that I create. I have been able to occasionally when I installed the game but now I can not at all. The sever will not show up under lan games. I have winxp sp2 and more then double the rec requirements.

i think i have a similar problem.
for me it seems that i can see the server that my comptuer is running, but when i look at the IP address its 'fe80::211:5bff:fe15:38cc'

now thats really odd, is that when i went in to find this number, i did it under internet, saw my server, relised i shoudl do in under lan, went into lan and WOW, my server had its ip address working - 1.0.0.2 - i logged off the server to double check it and my ip address has been screwed ever since (this happened like 5 min ago)
its really annoying as im hositn g a lan 2moro and the guy who was goign to be server is comign anymore.

im gonna keep trying, i hope this is a related problem.

That really long and "screwed-up" looking IP address is what you get with TCP/IP v6 ("IPNexGen" or some such). To get rid of that, open the properties page of your network card and uncheck the "Microsoft TCP/IP Version 6" checkbox- or remove the protocol entirely.

BTW- Freelancer doesn't recognize IPv6 addresses as valid, so to access the server, you'll have to at least disable it.

Maybe I should post this in the 'connecting problems' thread. hmmmmm.
