cant connect to global server

hi
i cant connect to the global server.any1 know what is the problem?

One Possibility:

If you are running ICS in XP and sharing your connection, then you must check off the box titled "Allow Network users to share/control this connection". Alos if you are running a firewall (hardware or software) you must ensure the proper ports are open.

There's actually a lot of these kinds of issues detailed in the readme files within the game folder.

Moby, thanks for the link. I didn't the posting you supplied the URL to but I had tried a search at the time. However, my issue must have been very different, because I didn't do anything to fix it other than browse Lancer's reactor and restart FL a few times. Thanks for posting that link - -it may help someone else if the issue occurs for them. However, I would suggest they simply reboot their machine and wait an hour or so before going as far as formatting their hard drive.
