    Hi


    Apologies if i've missed a previous post on


    this


    I installed the crossfire mod up to 1.57 and even installed the open


    singleplayer with an warning message in the mod manager, but it seems to work


    However


    when I go to multiplayer, it freezes instantly (blue cursor is stuck) and says no


    multiplayer servers are available


    is this because i am behind a router .. or could it


    be something else with my config


    if it is the router .. does anyone know which ports


    i need to allow through


    thanks


    by the way great mod .. i currently got some


    abuse on the X2 forum from some guy who didn't appreciate the brilliance and the modding


    community over here .. i set him straight .. however if you want to join in .. go to the X2


    scripts and modding forum at the egosoft X2 - the threat forum and make your comments (at


    the posting named freelancer ).. because there appears to be not much quality modding going


    on over there

    a router only prevents you from hosting a server, not joining


    one, so if you want to host a server for a game, you have to look up which ports the game


    uses, and config your router to allow them, I know because I host a Halo server ;)

    I might be way off


    base here but isn't 1.57 an update to 1.56? Meaning that without 1.56 already installed


    first....then 1.57 will not do anything? Order of install is...



    1. Install


    1.56
    2. Insatll 1.57 patch
    3. Install SP mod



    I think this is right but


    someone will set it straight if I'm mistaken...Pandora?...OP? [4]

    Sounds like a firewall problem to me, Jaffas. Btw, welcome to the forum.
    I


    had the same problem the first time I tried to connect to multiplayer using a ZoneAlarm


    firewall. And each time I install an upgrade, I have to reset the firewall to let


    freelancer.exe access the internet.

    Yeah it appears to be the firewall normally it would


    ask me to accept or deny a program for internet access before i used it


    I guess


    freelancer is an exception, but its added to my allowed programs now


    thanks

    Yea...that's it...check your Firewall.....I was going


    to say that....yep...sure...was......any minute now....that's what I was going to


    say........AAAAaaa....What were we talking about????? [4]

    Chief, dont smoke your


    "Pipe of peace" too much :D


    We few, we happy few, we band of brothers
    For he, today that sheds his blood with me
    Shall be my brother...
