Do you have DirectX 9.0 installed? It is required for MP.

Have you tried running DxDiag??? Maybe you have some errors in there. If you do another guy posted a fix for it. If errors show up on DxDiag reports then run the DxDllReg file or whatever it is.

He has ASDL So chances are he has a router or some sort of firewall blocking his connection to the server. Try opening up ports 2300-2400 in your firewall.

Also. reguardless of weather you have a firewall or not and reguardless of weather you have more than one computer hooked up to the net. You must have internet connection sharing enabled (and at least one shared folder) to connect to the master server. It even says so in the Freelancer docs.

If you can't connect to the master server one of these are your problem.
