Not able to connect

    So here's my new problem, I can't connect.
    - I launch from the FLMM,
    - CF launcher pops up and dose it's DL check
    - I click on "multi player"
    - I get to the main CF screen, on the bottom right it reads "24/7 CF v1.7"
    - I click the "CF Multi Player" button.
    - I click "Yes" on the next screen
    - I click "Internet" on the next screen
    - On the next screen it reads; Name:24/7 CF, IP:87.106.211.192, Visited:No, Ping:200, Players:7/128, Version:1.7, LAN:No, Opt: (scull and crossbones). All the letters and numbers are in white.
    - I double click on the name
    - Then a screen pops up that reads "I'm sorry but connection could not be established to the server... Please try again later.


    Well it been about three hours that this has been going on so I thought I'd leave a post and maybe you all could help me try to fix this. I'm a very prasistant person and will get online and play this game.
    Tks All

    1. check that your firewall allows freelancer.exe to go through
    2. run CF, let it update until all buttons are activated. Don't launch yet!
    3. open up internet explorer (yes, even if you use firefox, open internet explorer)
    4. close IE
    5. launch CF multiplayer from the launcher
    6. try connecting again
    ;) this used to work for me.

    I'm having this problem now..
    I'm using ESET Smart Security, and I put the freelancer.exe in my whitelist and stuff, and allowed all connections, and it's still not connecting to the server :(..

    Not sure what you mean by that..
    But the Firewall is a Firewall from the Anti-Virus program, I can't run a firewall from example AVG, and use ESET as a virus-scanner.
    I don't want to change Virus-scanner, cause this is a really good one.. :(

    for some firewall like norton it did not help to just deactivate it, but a complete deinstallation was necessary
