starting a server.

[flimp101]

im trying to boot a small server for my kids to play on and nephews and im new to running servers and got a few questions. firs is what is the system requirements for a freelancer server and internet requirements. my computer is out of date but i thought i should be able to connect at least a few people to a old game like freelancer. running a a10 2.6 ghz quad core processor with 8 gb ram. my my internet sucks with 6mbps down and 1 up. is this even good enough for what im wanting to do? i have tried using the flserver.exe and my server name shows but i cant seem to connect to it, i think it times out

ps when i click on console at the top of the fl server tab it reads failed to connect to list server
