Can't load my own multiplayer server for testing.
-
Maybe FLserver crashed cause of a coding mistake? I am a modding noob, though….

Gets better, I tried using fldirect ip with 127.0.0.1 (friend suggestion to mirror things) was able to see my server, but couldn’t connect to it.
Then tried putting the server IP into fldirect, and still no dice, same couldn’t connect errors.
Comp hasn’t been rebooted.
Could log on to my own server at 2am last night for testing.
All characters deleted off server.
Only change was copying shiparch.ini and the related equipment files to try a modded ship, then clean backup copied back over it. No a single edited .ini in any folder.Yet still can’t get to my server, at a loss as to how to fix this.

Much older compy, I’m running XP instead of 7 or Vista.
And weirder and weirder, after reinstalling freelancer (write over not full install) Also just had a friend remotly disable virtually every firewall, all my security, clean up all my gateway settings (at&t SUCKS) redo all my router ports and NAT settings, basically everything as he put it “Logic ditactes this should work” And while I can connect to his server just fine, still no dice in hooking up to mine.
we’re both stumped now.

On Vista you can disable it somehow, fixing the issue, on windows 7 you can not…You disable IPv6 through the registry. I’ve done it with Win 7 without issue.

Just to let everyone know, for reason I still have no idea how to explain, the problem solved itself?
Still haven’t restarted my computer, still haven’t done any other editing or system setting changes after all the attempted workarounds last night. Yet here at 10:45 this morning, i tried to load my server on a whim, and it worked just fine?
Beginning to think this computer of mine really is possessed, that or i should at least patch it to 1.1.

The number "0: didn’t work for me in that tutorial. This is the one that worked for me: http://www.home-network-help.com/disable-ipv6.html

I’m running Windows 7 64 bit. I did both fixes. 0 for the value didn’t work and neither did ffffffff. My IPv6 is unticked and it still shows a mac address for my server when I view it locally. I’m playing Freelancer to login and do testing from a seperate directory. I’m not using the server directory. I tried it using the freelancer.exe in the server directory. Same thing. It gives me a mac address for my server. Anyone have any ideas. This is driving me around the bend.

I assume you restarted after the change?
