<strike>There is something called Global Server Workaround that can be found on the Lancers Reactor.

EDIT: Thanks Niezck for pointing that out.

How is that going to help at all? He said he can -see- the server due to direct connect and can try to enter it but it gives him that error. Using the GLS isn't going to suddenly make him able to enter AFAIK.

It's called posting without thinking. No need to be so offensive.
I didn't exactly pay much attention to the screenshot and the text above it...
Nonetheless, my mistake.

I wasn't being offensive, just stating the obvious;)
Anyway, back on topic, what with me being a complete and utter noob with vista (never used it) i don't think i can help you really. Sorry about that.

I just tried it hooked straight in to my cable modem , bypassing the router and no luck :(.........and tried the work around mentioned above
I'm going to get comcast on the phone and see if they are blocking it ?
Thanks for your input guys:)
are these ports correct ? and are there more ports i should know about ?
2302- 2404 udp
My brain hurts lol
EDIT>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Comcast says: Ryan(Sun Feb 3 10:00:47 EST 2008)>The only ports we will block are 25 67 68 135 137 138 139 512 520 1080
are any of these needed?

Vista?
I bet its a combination of vista and norton or vista and mcafee.
You have to uninstall, not disable your antivirus to get that problem sorted.

Check the windows firewall isn't blocking freelancer.exe
