Crossfire is a modification to the Freelancer file set. It does not

replace the main program for the game, nor does it add any new ones.

Crossfire does

not communicate to the outside world, and therefore does not need to pass through the

firewall. This is all handled for it by freelancer.exe.

Freelancer uses the

Directplay8 set of protocols to communicate first with the Global Catalogue server to obtain

a list of servers hosting multiplayer games. It uses UDP on port 2300 to do this.

Once you have selected the Multiplayer server you wish to connect to, another UDP

connection is established with that server in the range 2300-2400 (but usually starting from

2302). You need these ports, to allow each user to attach to the server and play (each

player needs there own port).

It therefore follows that your firewall must allow UDP

traffic through ports 2300-2400, or you will not be able to communicate with the Global

server, or connect to a hosting server.

This is what prompted my

questions to ChiefRedCloud.

Hope this helps.

ChiefRedCloud,

I re-read some of the earlier posts by you and noticed that you said

you were using the firewall built into XP.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814550/

Contains a section on

configuring this to allow MP.

Hope this helps!
