Commodore001- its most likely going to be the same unless you allow the ports out and in.

The most unobvious port problem is the DX server must be allowed as an exception in the firewall, it will only show itself to the Administrator account. It comes up as DirectPlay8 Server, its at C:\WINDOWS\system32\dpnsvr.exe

To allow FLServer to run in a Windows Server 2003 machine in a non-Administrator account your admin also has to set up some user rights in Security Settings as follows:-

All Users (derives by being a member by default)
Allow logon locally
Bypass Traverse Checking

Remote Desktop Users (ensure the FL Server account is a member)
Allow Logon through Terminal Services

User specific (FL Server Account)
Create global objects (NEEDED for FL Server to be accessible)
Change the system time (NEEDED to set up Ioncross FL Server Op auto-maintenance)

Also ensure that the FL Server user has ownership and full control (including Read/Write) of these:-
1. Appropriate Freelancer Folder and all its files and subfolders
2. Ioncross FL Server Op Folder and all its files and subfolders
3. FLStat Folder and all its files and subfolders
