Unstable connection to OWN lan game?
Hi.
I've done a clean install of Freelancer, then added in FLMM 1.31 and a mod that gives me the ship from Firefly. I launch the server (Win XP Pro, SP2; fl.exe and freelancer.exe both have permission; have also tried it with the firewall down completely), then launch FL, and join the server on my own computer. As soon as I start flying around in space, the two little red computers in the upper left-hand corner of the screen starting popping up. I don't THINK it's impacting gameplay (then again, I haven't had anyone join my server), so right now it's more of an annoyance. I haven't tried opening the ports suggested (in my D-Link 604 router), but I did pop the host computer up on the DMZ (which, as I understand it opens ALL ports), but that didn't fix it either. Is there anyone else out there who has experienced the same problem, and come up with a way to make the little red computers go away
?
Thanks,
Steve
