Connection?

Okay, I am new to the forum, and I have a really newb question...

How do I play online?

I start Freelancer, I go to multiplayer, and it says it is connecting to the global server...and that's it. Nada.

Is there a secret I am unaware of here?

Thanks!

You will need to have direct X 9b or 9c (9c is available with XP SP2 RC2) installed. You will also have to make sure that you are not being blocked by your own router/firewall if you have in on your home network.

did u connect to the internet first?(noob Q's)
You Should Be able to see the server listing's You know
and double click on the server tu desire to connect.
Abit of advice: choose the server with the same Version, low pings.
and if u are using firewall it needs port 2300-2400 to be opened for connection.

OK how about this one

Is it worth me trying to connect with dial up?

Would love to play online but at home only have dial up

I can get to an HSA a few times a week but not from home (not yet atleast)

I played on a dial-up for a few months, it was playable.
