Cannt connect to any server

Well I know there are guys that cant onnect to the global server, but can. I get all the server info and sutff, but I never gets any of the Latency data, the ping.

When I try to connect to the Internet thru Freelancer, I get all servers and so, I can see their IP, names, Max players and all, but I cannot get their latency, and thus cant I connect to it. Are there any special thing I should do, like add a shortcut to the server I wanna join. (I just plays on one!) Or do anyone else got any good idea?

I think it might be my Frewall that dont let thru the server info, more then easy info. (cant know why though)

I know that the servers are online, cuz I get ALL servers there is, that means Elite and the rest! I have also tried to join Elite.. which didnt work.

I have waited.. lets say about 5 min.. then refreshed and waited 5 more mins.. 2,5Mbit connection, bothways. I would really doubt that there are any "demanding prgs" in hte background. I got a 3.0 Ghz HyperThreading CPU, so I REALLY doubt it! (plus the comp is all clean from progs due that I just reinstalled XP)

I mght add that I have two comps beside eachthers, one that cant conenct to the FL servers, the other can! (I have opened the same ports to both IP's) The server I wanna join is a server that I know what port it uses, 2302-2304 and those two are opened.

AS I said, I had two comps beside eachother, both connected to the same router/Firewall, both opened the same ports and all. The thing I could guess is that I have the SAME account ID on both machines, can that have anything with it to do?

I ahve tested to reinstall the game, with anoyhet account ID adn it was no good. Might it be due that I have the same game ID on two computers? I can play on one of them but the other not possible to join MP servers..
