You don't say what type of conection you have ( Wireless or Line )
or whether you have a router or USB conection, If router you need to open a port to allow FL to connect as with direct line.
i have cable connection to broadband internet, all ports it could use are open cos my friend sitting across the table from me can play, we've gone through Every possibility, My com has been freshly wiped and there are no virus programs at all, as i said before i tried the entire list by Dboy and the one done by Cannon, but none of them have worked T.T
Ok then, lets try,
You say you have wiped your pc? then thats good, no anti-virus , no freelancer, no nothing? alrighty then. If you have had an anti-virus installed you must completely remove it as just deactivateing it doesnt work.
Lets start,
Reinstal FL, FLMM and the mod.
An anti-virus is a good idea, install AVG free, but make sure you custom install it, pick only those files that say free version and install. The rest is just a load of rubbish you dont need and blocks FL.
Make sure your running FL,FLMM and the mod as administrator and in compatible for xp.
Remember if you havnt completely removed any programmes they leave files behind that muck up your system and you wont connect.
tried it, no luck, it still has the same problem, i can see them, but it says that they are all going down for maintenance at the same time when they aren't and that's all it says
