Requested operation is taking longer..

Caboose

Hi everyone,

I just installed Freelancer, and I want to play it with my brother on LAN.
Now, yesterday I tried to set up a server by just running flserver.exe and then start the game and connect, both the server and the game were running on the same machine, worked fine. Today I did exactly the same, and now I get a message saying the requested operation is taking longer than expected… and after a while it says it can’t connect. So the server is in the serverlist but I can’t connect.

I find it kinda weird especially because it worked perfect yesterday. I tried turning off the firewall, rebooted the pc and reinstalled the game. Nothing worked, and I don’t know a lot about pc’s and networks and all that stuff, so I can’t figure it out myself I think. Anyone knows what to do?

OS, antivirus?

Nevermind, I got it
It’s the IP thingy, where it gets the IP6 address instead of the IP4, I have to turn off IP6 or refresh 'till I get the IP4 address

Thanks for the reply though.

If you use Vista install the Service Pack 2!
