FlServer Help

I am running the FLServer on my WinXP server that shares Internet access to my LAN at home, there are 2 other cmputers that get internet thru this server. I cannot get the FLServer to connect to list server unless I disable the LAN network card <which then means neither of the other computer can access the net>, I dont know if there is another way around this or if its something the developers must fix. I can run all kinds of other "game servers" on this machine and not have a problem but FLServer seems to get confused if it sees the 2nd Network card active in the system, I get "cannot connect to list server" in console until I disable the LAN network card then imediatly it connects to the list server.


please someone tell me how to fix this

The readme file on the CD states the game has issues with more than 1 tcp/ip device.

yeah I see this in the readme

Two TCP/IP devices - If you are experiencing issues with dropping network connections or a lack of ability to connect to Freelancer servers, please attempt the following:
o Exit Freelancer and ensure that you have a functional network / Internet connection.
o Disable the device that is not providing your Internet connection and try again.


but that is total crap... I cannot shut off my other computers fromt eh internet and I dont need to do this for ANY other game on the market, I have run Halflife <Counterstrike, DoD and other mods> Quake II & III, UT and ALOT of other servers on this box WHILE it shares the connection and I can play the SAME game from one of the other computers without a problem... this is just a result of a great game with serious issues and a game developer that released a BETA as a final.

Microsoft is behind this product, I am sure someone at MS knows how to make this work....

Then call MS's tech support, the number is at the end of the same file.
