Ok... Try to remember back when FL worked, and what you did between that time and when it stopped working. Because I'm starting to run out of ideas here...
I have installed freelancer in my second harddrive but i still have the same problem...
Maybe it's my window XP SP2 that went crazy but i can't reinstall it because i dont have the CD key my father must ask the guy who built up my PC so reinstall XP isnt a solution for the moment
Some other ideas I didn't see people mention:
1) reboot your cable modem / DSL modem
2) check that your modem isn't blocking the port or server.
and, do you have other online games that are working?
