2 things.

What type of internet connection do you have?

and

Are you clicking on LAN or INTERNET when you go into MP after accepting the stupid agreement that comes up every time you click on MP?

Other than that, I personally have no idea....

Something Awful

I have never once been able to connect to the list server either... the only way i've been able to see servers is by manually adding them to the command line. maybe its something to do with the [ListServer section of freelancer.ini... mine looks like this:

<pre><font size=1 face=Courier>[ListServer
;;;hostname = localhost ;Your local machine
hostname = FLListServer2.dns.corp.microsoft.com ;GUN server in Austin
;;;hostname = 131.107.135.190 ;GUN server in Redmond
;;;hostname = fllistserver.zone.msn.com ;GUN server in Redmond (DNS entry) </font></pre>

hostname = fllistserver.zone.msn.com ;GUN server in Redmond (DNS entry) this need to be the host the other are nothing dead
[ListServer
;;;hostname = localhost ;Your local machine
;;;hostname = FLListServer2.dns.corp.microsoft.com ;GUN server in Austin
;;;hostname = 131.107.135.190 ;GUN server in Redmond
hostname = fllistserver.zone.msn.com ;GUN server in Redmond (DNS entry)

yeah i tried uncommenting them all, still no luck. something strange is definitely going on here... not that i mind of course, because i only ever play on elite (and argonus occasionally) anyway...

[ListServer
;;;hostname = localhost ;Your local machine
;;;hostname = FLListServer2.dns.corp.microsoft.com ;GUN server in Austin
;;;hostname = 131.107.135.190 ;GUN server in Redmond
hostname = fllistserver.zone.msn.com ;GUN server in Redmond (DNS entry)




that is unaltered and straight from copy/paste from my ini file??

but i still cant connect...? I have a cable modem and play many online games so this is really confusing me... when i go click on multi then click okay to the disclaimer, it just goes to the server list screen sits a min then in the upper right it switches to "connecting to global server..." but nothing happens execpt a "game freeze"

man this is killing me! still cant figure it out. 3 to 4 more hours of trying tonight....



AAARRGGHH!!!!

okay im gonna lose it here....

i select multi then lan and .... It just cant connect the the #@%$#@%#@ing "global server"


HEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i select multi then lan and .... It just cant connect the the #@%$#@%#@ing "global server"

Well, Click the da*n Internet Button instead of the LAN..
A LAN is: Local Area Network, as u can see its LOCAL!!! your computer and the rest on the same router.
Internet is the same as a WAN, Wide Area Network. A WAN is a gigantic network, as the internet is.

SO, press the Internet button instead of the LAN button. Problem solved..
