Multiplayer on LAN Party

Do anybody know, what I have to do, to set up a Multiplayer Server on LAN without Internet?
The flserver.exe would try to connect to a list server. But on LAN there isn't any. Is there a App or Options in the files, that this fix?

Rem out the entry in the .ini file that points to the list server.

It doesn't work, yet. Has anybody a other Idea?

put ;;; in front of hostname = fllistserver.zone.msn.com and remove the ;;; from hostname = localhost

It really doesnt matter if it tries to connect to a list server, the LAN still should work fine.

I have tried both. But how do I connect to the server when, the server not be listen in the Connection table of Freelancer?

If you are on a LAN, it should be available via the LAN tab. You can also use the fldirectip.hta file in the exe folder, that will add it to the LAN tab for that game. If you are on the same subnet as the server, you should see it though, without having to use that file.
