hi there. i recently cannot get onto the server for some reason. have tried to connect by manually opening the port itself to Fl. this worked so as i could get onto the global server, but when i tried to connect to the Crossfire server, it wont connect and it gives me the "cannot connect to server" message. i have tried restarting my computer and connecting several times, but it does not work.
1 more thing, i have a router, but i thikn this is bypassing it. if not, then i will have to see what i can do.
any help appreciated:)
how to connect to server?

Since when does it do that? Did you install anything recently? An update perhaps?
Give us some details
Or maybe you just have to tell the Windows Firewall to accept exceptions from FL... That is, if you haven't done that already.

Ok... To see if FL is accepted by the firewall, go to:
Start -> Control Panel and double click on "Windows Firewall"
To make changes you need to be admin btw...
Go to the tab "Exceptions" and make sure you see "freelancer.exe" in there, or something like that.
If its not, click "Add program", browse to where FL is installed and double click the Freelancer executable. It should then appear in the window...
Done!
Otherwise, wait for someone else to reply.
