REWARD: I cannot play and I am desperate! - Ximen_Benitez - 10-10-2009
' Wrote:OK man this is what I did:
I have windows vista 32 bit laptop (wont bore you with specs)
ANYWAY my install of discovery is shanked but it works.
THE ONLY WAY i found to get this working was to download (off piratebay) a paid version for AVG, uninstall your current one and install this one. It will work. Trust me. Then send me the 30 mill.
Im sorry but this seems the only way to me if you REALLY want to play freelancer online EVER AGAIN.
I'm sorry, but I never had, and I never will pirate any software or any music. Just not how I roll.
I can easily make FL work w/o my current Anti Virus, but I'd rather keep the one I have. I know, I'm picky.

From what I've read so far, it sounds like your firewall is stopping incoming/outgoing connections when you try to connect to the server.
There should be some sort of Log that tells you what has been blocked, either coming or going.
Also, as has been mentioned in a previous post, make sure that the ports Freelancer uses are open, not only in your router, but in the firewall program as well.
There should be instructions on how to do that in the help files, it's just a case of finding them.
I'd d/l the program you have myself to see how it works, but I'd probably have to install it and that could cause more problems for me than it's worth.
EDIT: It seems they don't do a Trial version of the program..... but I did notice that apparently it has a 'gamer mode', for whatever good that will do for you.
