Something New, from the land of many troubles

Of all the things I thought of, Refresh wasn’t one of them.
It only takes a try or two for me, and it went straight to it before.Thanks Oma

Unfortunately, I’ve tried every trick in the book to get Windows 7 to allow me to load a server on machine and connect to it. I haven’t found a way to successfully do this. The issue is the IPv6 option in your network. For whatever reason, FL doesn’t like it and you get that “IP Address”. Now, I’ve tried deselecting this in the network properties and I still get the same result, sadly. I did a little research and tried to turn off all the programs that use IPv6, and still, no luck.
The only way to get your CPU to run FL again, is by uninstalling 7

Anyone tried ReactOS?
Or WINE, which is said 2 be fully compatible with Freelancer. -
It is the mac adress (if I am not mistaken) and this isnt vista related (i know that since I have read threads in the long past about this issue)
Not sure about how it came up to this issue, but a semi-solution is to try 20+ times refresh (and this isnt a good solution as youwill agree)

I’m 80% certain the issue is caused by IPv6, given my past experiences and what I have read.

Yes, that is an IPv6 address. Additionally, look for other connections on your computer and try to deactivate those too. If you have FireWire installed (most recent computers at least have one port), you may want to try to deactivate the 1394 network connection too. Just shooting in the dark here as that seems to be a 7-specific issue.

Uncheck the IPv6 protocol in the TCP/IP properties of the connection. Reboot, done. If that is indeed the issue….

@F!R:

Freelancer fully works under Linux with Wine. Except the intro movies wich are WMV files for media player.
For the rest it works like a charm, and it runs quicker as well. -
Wait, WINE runs FL… shweet!
-
nice information worfeh ;D
We have to spread this info around I believe ^^ -
That is what I get if I try to load up a server on my computer running XP Pro SP3, it is a IPv6 address.
I am on a private network - I think this is why it can’t get a normal IP
Are you on a private network?
EDIT: I think Windows 7 has a setting that forces a IPv6 -

The address you see IS an IPv6 address!
Let’s make this clear, a MAC address looks like this:
01:23:45:67:89:abWhile an IPv6 address looks like this:
2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334See how the IPv6 address can be much longer and has groups of FOUR digits, not two.
Now, have you tried to do as Fury said? Deactivate IPv6 and try again ::)
-
I ask again, have you deactivated IPv6?

Turn IP v6 off in the kernel.

!!FIX!!= I went to command prompt and typed “ipconfig /all” it revealed my normal network adapter and two tunneling interfaces, So I went to my normal network connection properties, clicked on Internet Protocol version 6 and then clicked on “Uninstall”.
Then when I rebooted I did “ipconfig /all” again, there where no tunneling interfaces, and freelancer was fixed!
