Cannot connect to LAN Freelancer server

[Jamez]

Okay, it seems to be something to do with that string of letters and numbers you mentioned, heh. They are hexadecimal strings for the IPv6 protocol. It's still your IP address, just in hexadecimal format. But of course IPv6 it's more than that, and the underlying differences between IPv6 and the older IPv4 may be the problem here.

Anyway.. I installed the IPv6 protocol on XP to see what happened, and alas, now I can't connect to my LAN FLServer. Thing is, in XP you can just uninstall it, with Vista, IPv6 is integrated into the network stack.

Of course, it could be something completely different, but this theory is at least something to consider. Try running FL and/or FLServer in compatibility mode also try running FL and/or FLServer with Administrator rights, it may help.


EDIT: I'm almost 100% sure that IPv6 is your problem. Please read this: http://www.discoverygc.com/forums/index....topic=9310
