Hey guyz.. been playing and loving Freelancer... only prob is connecting to other servers from home..
i Connect from a dsl Network at home yet when i tell freelancer to connect to internet multiplay.. it just sorta hangs on the connecting to Global server.. and does a mixture of sweet FA & Assorted varities of FA.. anyhow.. is there anyway for me to fix this crappy problem.. or am i gonna have to relive my pk tendencies on LANs.. only..

I'm having a similar problem in that when I get to the Global Server screen, the only server that will return a ping is my own on my LAN. I'm running a 3Mib cable connection useing a Linksys cable modem, Linksys Router and Linksys switch. I've tried setting the ports for FL open on my game machine and putting it in the DMZ, all to no avail. FL server runs on a seperate box running Win 2K Adv Serer, my Game machine specs are:
Dual AMD MP 2000+ CPU's
Tyan Tiger S2466N-4M MB
1 Gig DDR Ram
Ti 4200 GForce4 128 DDR vid
SB 5.1 sound
Win XP Pro

Your new here, are'nt you stranger[! Uhh Hmm
