can''t connect to global server

Yesterday I was able to connect to the global server no problem but, today when I try connecting FL to the internet all I get is my LAN server.
I'm uing XP and have everything set so it should work right, if it wasn't I couldn't have played before.
Wanted to play 88 Flak and noticed on the stats page for the server that people were on it.
Also, I checked the global server listings page (http://flstat.cryosphere.co.uk/global-list.php) and all the servers show as having global connection.
Does anybody know what is wrong and how to fix this problem?

I would like to know how to enter the server data into Freelancer.ini so, I don't have to keep adding it every time I start the game
also heard there was a way to enter more than one server so, they all show up
there are 3 I'm interested in so I'd like to not have to add them ebery time I want to play them

also if anyone could make a sticky of how to do this it would be greatly appreciated
I've seen tons of people with the same question that can't find the right answer to it

That's funny. I had exactly the same problem, with the same mod, but I was on early this morning. I put it down to the fact I'd just de- and re- activated Flak, which has caused problems before. I couldn't direct connect either ("invalid file path" so I'm reinstalling FL for the 19475729120756730205868th time.

No you don't. Just put this in the Target box of the Freelancer shortcut, after the file path: -s[server'sIPaddress:[port.
