You may be running a firewall? Norton's, Zone alarm, or the crappy XP one?

Allow port 2300 and 2302, these are the common ports for game play when connecting.

I've been having the same problem, with both Freelancer and Mechwarrior 4. I haven't tried it with any other Microsoft games yet. This just started recently, too. Right around when the FL server patch was released.

How do I check to see if those ports are being used by anything?
