Grouping problem

I don't know why but when I play multiplayer games in my LAN players we can't team up, I get a mission in the begining, then I ask someone to join my group and the request appears on his chat screen but not in the group/trade screen and vice versa when someone else tries to invite me, and the same thing happens when trying to trade, can anyone tell me why that happens or how can I fix it. Thanks.

First you need to group up, Then you should let 1 of the group take a mission.

When you first take a mission, they cannot join you because you will have to complete the mission first...

We tried to team up before taking any mission and it didnt work, and then I saw on the manual that one has to take a mission and then invite the others but that didn't work eighter...

And what about the trading thing... it should work no matter of the missions right!? what seems to be the problem? normally can you trade / group up as soon as you start or you have to get to a level or somethin?

You can group after accepting a mission. I do it all the time.

Anyone else maybe??

Could the fact that I cracked FL so I can play without the cd on all the computers be the reason?? anyone?

No. I'll just say I have some sources, and they say you can play cracked FL just like normal. They group with me just fine. I can't see why you'd have so much trouble.
