    I was right! Uninstalling Kaspersky helped. Just after I removed it, I was able to connect to the CF server, to create a char and to play.
    After that I installed the Avira Antivir Classic, and FL still works :D
    Now Im installing the Outpost firewall, I hope that will be ok too. Dont like being "naked" in the bad internet ;)

    My ISP is fine, I play Battlefield 2142 with a ping of 20, on german servers :), thats almost the best ping you can have in that game
    The only problem is Freelancer. I cant get on any server, no matter mod or vanilla. I just cant connect. I guess removing Kaspersky is the only solution, exept of giving up FL...

    Drunken. Do you have Kaspersky AntiVirus or Kaspersky Internet Security (big difference). And is it v6 or v7?


    If it's KIS, try this. Open KIS. On left slide click FIREWALL. Then on the right side click STOP [not PAUSE]. Then launch CF launcher, let it update. Open Internet Explorer -> Press ALT -> File -> Work offline [wait a second or 2] -> Close IE -> "Launch CrossFire Multiplayer"


    I have Kaspersky Internet security 7.
    Tried this stop thing, didnt work :( still same crap
    Everything works well, exept of the connecting to the server

    Damn I cant even find that "Realtime Protection" thing... I live in Germany, so my Kasp is in german, and I cant see any realtime protection... maybe in German its called somehow else... Im really dumb in such things :(


    And I cant swich to XP, this is a notebook PC LG900. They dont have any drivers for XP, like many modern notebooks... so installing XP is impossible.


    and about your link Blaster, I have seen it already, but as I said, changing to another antivir software should be my last option, coz I paid for this one... sadly they didnt say that FL wont work [3]

    Yep, if my licence is over, I can consider to get any other too, but the problem is not the Kaspersky itself, its the damn Vista.
    Thats what I found googling: Microsoft has added something to Vista, so it "communicates and cooperates" better with your own internet security. Thats why with Norton and Kasp, your FL connection is blocked even if you DEACTIVATE them. Only uninstalling helps... thats all I know


    thanx for the link magnet, I will take a look...

    Hello everyone, I got a problem with Vista.. hooo hooo, who wonders
    Thing is, I cant get on any server. Thanx to this mod, I see the Crossfire server on the list, even if the global server is down.
    But, I cant connect to it.
    It says everytime "Connection couldnt be established, maybe server offline bla bla bla."
    I googled a bit, and found out, that I need to uninstall my antivirus(Kaspersky) to get it working. Many people say on many forums, antivius like avast, norton or kasp dont let FL work(only on Vista), even if you deactivate it before starting to play.
    Of course, playing Freelancer is a great thing to do, but hell its not worth it to leave your computer without any safety...
    So, if anyone of you has a solution that doesnt include removing my Kasp, please HELP me.

    Yeaaaa!!! A whole clan cheating... of cooooouuuuurse...
    I wont wonder if you start complaining while driving in the wrong direction on a highway :D
    IOC are not cheaters, I know that very well... I have even seen the birth of this clan...


    PS: Hi OP... manchmal sieht man sich auch 3 mal im Leben :P8)
