lol

i fiddled a little with the firewall…tho i didnt think it was that…

my firewall doesnt allways like local server

Turn your firewall off and try it, if it works then the firewall was the problem and you need to see what it is blocking. Try looking in the firewall logs to see what it shows a being blocked from your local LAN IP range.

1st:
–- maybe try 2 use a fixed IP on your server
— try to start the client with something like “freelancer.exe -sMY_SERVER_IP:2302”

And the 2nd or 3rd rule of my (software) firewall is usually to allow every traffic within the LAN.
Maybe try something like this in “Advanced Rules” or what ever it is called on your firewall
on
– the server
AND
– your client
and try again.

For Freelancer i usually open UDP ports 2300-2305,6073

==================================

I only opened up the 2302 port, should I open the full range as aboove and add the other as well or…?

… here a statment of someone, who knows more:

@Lancer:

**Router port settings for LAN and WAN usage

2300, 2301 - do not do anything other than a passthough on these ports, otherwise only one computer on your LAN will be able to connect to the outside world

2302 - direct this to your server’s IP on your LAN network, this is the one of two ports you need to set to point to your server if you wish for WAN access

6073 - this is the second port you need to route to your server for it to operate properly, if you don’t set this one some users may not be able to connect, this is the port used by DirectPlay for communication betweeen copies of itself

Don’t forget to set your firewall properties to allow the server and client access to the web. With these setting users on the web should be able to access your server and you will keep your family happy since they can still play online.**

So UDP ports 2300-2302,6073 should be enough.

uhh…ESS dont support UDP
