Freelancer Crashes when I hit Multiplayer!!!

Freelancer Crashes when I hit Multiplayer!!!

I just came home from a LAN party where I played on a server for about 8 hours with 6-10 guys. Dang it was fun and I was built up to around level 18.

When I got home, I went into Freelancer, and I hit Multiplayer and it gives me ESRB warning or whatever, then I hit OK. Then it gives me a choice of LAN or Internet. I hit Internet and at that point the sound proceeds to loop in the background and then the game freezes. Hardly ever gives me chance to get to desktop, rarely it will (I have tried this multiple times). If I try to hit LAN, I get to the game selection menu but it says Global Server is down in top right, and proceeds to freeze in the same way.

Heres what flspew.txt gave me -

Hey guys.. i was having the same problem.

To fix it..

Open some ports or connect directly to your modem. I have cable with several computers on it. Have been to lazy to figure out what ports to open. But connecting to my modem instead of LAN worked fine.

Hope this helps.
