(/showthread.php?tid=21306)

RESOLVED! - Kinjid - 06-02-2009 I have Vista... sadly and recently I started wanting to play Freelancer again... after uninstalling 2 times, the second time following DBoy's guide, I find my self unable to make a connection to the server. ---------------------------------------------- I have tried to ping the server ( 82.113.48.5 ) through windows command command, and no success. ---------------------------------------------- I do not know what would be causing this, as I have the freelancer ports forwarded, I unistalled Comodo FW, AV, and SafeSurf, to no avail... I don't know it my IP is being blocked or if vista just hates me that much but I would really like to be able to play, as this seems like a really nice server. When trying to connect to server all I get(This is for both Freelancer and USA Server) - I'm Sorry, no connection could be made to the server. This could be to -insert useless windows excuses- - I get this error, IMMEDIATELY with out it even trying to connect, RESOLVED! - TGD - 06-02-2009 do u start is as admin? and check ur firewalls RESOLVED! - Kinjid - 06-02-2009 Yes I started it as admin(As in DBoy's guide) and as of my last notice, I don't have a Firewall enable(Windows Disabled)... I uninstalled my firewall / av in case that was the problem(which it wasn't)... and in case I added an exception to a disable windows firewall, which didn't help either.. My brothers computer( who is on same network ) is having no trouble at all connecting, though he is running XP RESOLVED! - spec - 06-03-2009 I'm assuming you are connected via a router. Is there a firewall on the router ? It's possible it's not allowing traffic from your IP, specifically ICMP packets. Try doing a tracert command - tracert <IP>. ps: You've blanked out the <username> in the image you provided - except for the last line:) RESOLVED! - Kinjid - 06-03-2009 Thank you, Thats fixed... Same error with tracert, Destination NEt unreachable... Screenie: also it isn't my routers firewall, as I disabled it, and tryed to tracert and ping the server to no avail RESOLVED! - Kinjid - 06-03-2009 Resloved by switching to vista... Please Delete :S
