MP unable to connect to server

Mon Mar 10, 2003 3:36 am by Adoms

I cant connect to server. I can only play when i first install the game, after a day. It doesnt seem to work at all. It this f***en saying "connecting to server" and gets stuck there for hours. Does that mean i have to uninstal and install again and again to play this everday. And keep on starting new people and ****?

I have Win 2k with patches, GeForce 2 MX 400 64MB, Direct X 9.0, Soundblaster Live 5.1 Gamer, 512 DDR Ram, and AMD XP 1800+, DSL with HUB.

If anyone knows what my problem is and how to solve it, plz tell me

I am having the same problem.. could not connect for about 6 hrs yesterday and not at all today.

I would say it has something to do with the "Global Server" being over loaded. I hope they find a fix for this soon... please

I got the same problem but it seems it may not be us?

Maybe it is the global server that is being adjusted?

Same problem here.

I checked freelancer.ini, and there were 3 master list servers:

[ListServer
;;;hostname = localhost ;Your local machine
;;;hostname = FLListServer2.dns.corp.microsoft.com ;GUN server in Austin
hostname = 131.107.135.190 ;GUN server in Redmond
;;;hostname = fllistserver.zone.msn.com ;GUN server in Redmond (DNS entry)

port = 2300

I tried to both ping and traceroute each - EVERY SINGLE ONE IS NOT ACCESSIBLE.

So guys there's no way to even see the list of the servers till the list servers go online again.
But there are guys who CAN play. How can this be? What's wrong?
I also tried many DNS servers (both from my country and from the US) and none could see any master servers. Hmm....

The IP address in the INI file is incorrect. The only valid host the list is fllistserver.zone.msn.com.

The IP address could change, so use the DNS name.

With the exception of the period from around 12:30am CST through 11:00am CST on the 7th, the list servers have been up, so you must be having a different problem.
