When you press "multiplayer" and then "internet", you supposed to get list of all freelancer servers. Few servers locked, other password protected, however the majority of servers are open.

If you dont get the list check:
(if you have) your firewall settings,
Directx-Dirctplay drivers, with: run->"dxdiag.exe".

For futher troubleshoting Search the forum for similar problem(s).

1) try couple of servers
2) disable any kazaa/edonkey or any uploading software.
3) Reboot
4) reinstall the game
5) what modem you have?

No this maybe occurred when your DirectPlay(part of DirectX) drivers ruined.
There is DX9.0a be sure to install it.
