I run my MP FL on ADSL, which connects on bootup. However, if i go into FL MP before i try to actually get on the internet (prior to account authentication) i get the same message as you and it just hangs. If however, i simply access an internet page, this forces my authentication. Then FL MP works fine.


Hope this helps.

alot of ppl are having these kind of troubles. we know what it is, well microsoft know what it is and as always they call it 'known issues' but as more then the half of our beloved FL owners CANT play MP, it is a serious "known issue", but they r making a patch now to make some MP improvements. lets hope it will be ready soon.

(and tyhat it will work )
