I did this myself because i also could not play freelancer. My problem
is a little diffeent tho. When I click on multi-player a server list
NEVER shows up at ALL.

I can't even see a list of servers to connect to. i also un-installed
My anti-virus and it still never got a list of servers at ALL. I'm
running Vista X64 bit.

the first time i installed freelancer i could click on multi-player and
i had no problem at all. There was a list of servers and i could click
on 1 and i was playing the game.

then i re-installed freelancer and now I have no servers in the list
window.. there is nothing in the server window to choose from. i
disabled my firewall. un-installed my anti-virus and ANY other program i
could think of and it WILL NOT SHOW A LIST OF SERVERS AT ALL.

i have pretty much given up on this. the ONLY way i can play the game
is to go to the VOID MOD where i play at and click on direct connet and
then it opens up freelancer and i can play the game all night if i want
to but can NOT do it the other way.

IF you ask me it has NOTHING to do with the firewall or the anti-virus
because i shut the firewall down and un-installed the anti-virus and
still didn't work.

ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS GUYS?

Thanks,

Mike
