Vista vs FL - Cawdor - 12-08-2008
- deactivated IPv6
- deinstalled avast!
- cleaned the reg from avast! entries
- forwarded the FL port (Firewall + Router)
- even deactivated the firewall and allowed my router to forward ALL ports ...
- using the fallowing shortcut: [...]EXE\Freelancer.exe -s82.113.48.5:2302
Server wont appear in FL.
Halp! >_>

Do you see other servers? Is it only Disco missing? May sound stupid, but I've accidentally clicked the wrong filter before, and made it disapear...

Hamburg City doesn't work either.

check if you can ping the server address.
You don't need port forwarding for Freelancer to work... Your router firewall should allow outgoing
traffic on the server port.
Plus also check windows firewall, when you un-install 3rd party firewalls, it usually enables windows firewall.

all attempts to ping the server with or without router/firewall failed.
thanks for the hint

perhaps try running it as an administrator? I know it won't do much but it can't hurt

If you have a ping utility in the router console, then try that also..
Maybe your router is not able to reach the server, in that case, you'll have to check with your ISP.
