NEw exe file version

Okay, so me and my friend are making a mod. He has the server pc at his house but we are having a few problems. I made a claen install of freelancer and then copied the orginal folder to make the folder named "Copy Of Freelancer". I then opened the fl server EXE file and the freelancer EXE file and edited it so all the values were equal to 2,36. My friend then installed freelancer on his server pc and i sent the fl server exe over along with the freelancer exe for the PC hes running the game on. So now we BOTH have a folder with 2.36 as he did the same as me except he took my EXE files(the edited ones) cause he didnt know how to edit them. So he sets up ioncross and fl server and everything seems fine. I go onto freelancer using the 2.36 exe and make sureit is 2.36 by looking at the version in the corner on the main menu. Now for the weird thing, neither of us can connect to the server. My friend gets a desktop crash and i cant even connect after entering the password. The server stays up but we dont connect. Im convinced i edited the EXE files right but could someone link to a tutorial if you cant see the problem. This is really doing our heads in as we wanna get to work on the mod. Sorry if youve heard this before. Thanks for the help in advance and any help will be greatly appreciated.

I suggest trying it with 1.0 version - and finding that you still have the same crash first. You rule out the exe file, because it certainly doesn't sound like the exe's fault to me!
