Keep getting disconnected!

Alright this PC im on right now is a really good computer. It has a AMD 64 bit proccesoor. Now the problem is when I play on a server. At once it shows that it has a "bad" connection. Allthough the other computer which is connect to the exact the same network.

When i start. The "Bad" connection icon appear the yellow one. Then only a few seconds after. The "no" connection icon appear the red one. And then it says "Connection to server lost". And something about checking my inernet connection. ANd its there. This is probably a BUG in freelancer. Any1 experienced this problem before? Its not the connection, its the computer.

Thanks for your time. And i hope i get some help

It will be the connection as my server has had a family group that played, but one of the LAN cards and connecting Cat5 cable where not the best so caused that issue on occasions.

Can you provide us with more information about your setup? How many PCs do you have? Are you using a switch or router? Do you have a firewall? Which version of Windows do you have? That sort of thing.

In the meantime, try reinstalling DirectX in order to eliminate that as a potential cause of the problem.

connectivity issues usually are related to your firewall. As a client, Freelancer do not need any port opened. But i think its a good idea to open specific ports. Try reading the readme files. I highly doubt its a FL bug.

open ports 2300 to 2304 and see what that does.
