the read me that comes with fl reads

"Freelancer uses the standard DirectPlay ports, so your firewall needs to pass UDP ports 2302-2304 to the server machine."

some of those security updates from MS are problematical to say the least. check add/remove programs to see if u installed Q811493, if so uninstall it, the security hole it fixes is also fixed by later incremental updates but that patch sloooooooooooooowwws ur network activity right down to the point u can't connect properly.
