Can't connect to Discovery Server

[Robert.Fitzgerald]

I have reinstalled freelancer after some hardware failure on my laptop. I have a fresh copy of the freelancer installation, a fresh mod manager, a fresh copy of the discovery mod. I have entered in the direct link line into the freelancer shortcut -s82.113.48.5:2302. I have followed every step in Dboy's Vista guide.

Yet, when I get to the server list and click on the discovery server, it says:


I'm using AVG 8.0 Free if that helps.

Edit: Also it takes lots of attempts to even run freelancer. Most tries load the game, the screen goes back then the computer returns to desktop with freelancer in the task bar. Clicking on the task brings it to the game, then back to desktop.
