Not able to connect

[Zeb Harley]

I had the problem not being able to connect, too. Although I could see the server in the login-window.
It was my router. I checked the router firewall log and found a lot of entries saying that freelancer could not connect because it could not open ports by itself.
So after activating UPnP, Freelancer now can open and close ports like crazy and it works fine since.
I had those connection problems only after installing the Beta. Before that, Freelancer worked fine with the ports I kept open for it.
