I did all the things that I must do. I went to adoxa’s website and follow the steps:
Here are the steps -

Go to your Freelancer group and start FLServer (or run Freelancer\EXE\FLServer.exe);

enter anything for the name and make sure “Allow New Players” is checked;

bring up the properties for your Freelancer shortcut; you should now see the “Target” highlighted, so press End and paste in everything between the quotes: “ -s127.0.0.1:2302”;

start Freelancer, select “Multiplayer”, create the account if you haven’t already done so, select “LAN” and you should see your server there

–-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At FLServer I chose (Allow New Players), (Make Your Server Internet Accessible), and (Allow Players to Harm other Players). With a password, 10 min. players and a server name.

Then at the TARGET I typed this = “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe” -s127.0.0.1:2302

Then run the original Freelancer.exe. But I also try to run the Shortcut. ( What should I open, the original or the shortcut? )

Also my FIREWALL is OFF.

But still, I can’t see my created server at the LAN lists.

And by the way, I am talking about playing SOLO Multiplayer here without any INTERNET, ETHERNET, WI-FI, CABLE connection, PROXY, etc. NO connections from the OUTSIDE world.

Just me and my desktop or laptop alone. Playing the Freelancer.

@ NORT

How did you finally ran it?

What do you mean? - you had made the server run ( 5 times )?

Then you put the ( “C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Freelancer\EXE\Freelancer.exe” -s127.0.0.1:2302 ) at the ( TARGET ) later.

And it worked?

Can you please help and tell me of what you had just did.

@ adoxa

Still no help.

But I read from other forums that VISTA was having a problem on - (they say) DIRECTPLAY - i guess. Or anything that Vista causing many problems. Cause Vista, as we all knew that its SUCKS.

Do you have any solutions about Vista problems on how to solve LAN Multiplayer Server List problem.

Can you HACK it regarding on this problem on VISTA?

There are many people who were asking also about this problem, as I google it, they said the Anti-Virus, Vista’s problem, Directx10, etc. And still no solutions on how to solve this problem.

By the way, My PC is Vista. Which I didn’t know that it will make me problematic. Damn Vista!!!

Wish I have an XP. Downgraded though.

Please HACK this problem on playing LAN (Solo) Multiplayer at the server list that will make your created server show on the list.

Thanks.

@StarTrader

Yes it works fine when I have an internet connection. I can connect to the INTERNET list server and there are many servers available.

But when I went to the LAN, it is empty also even if I have an Internet connection.

Do you think that I should upgrade my VISTA to Windows 7?

Is Windows 7 the same as the XP but with more new features?

Can you also try if you can play Freelancer in Windows 7 by using the ( Freelancer.exe shortcut to “…\freelancer.exe -s127.0.0.1:2302” ).

Cause if you can connect by using this shortcut IP addon at XP, then how about Windows 7?

Thanks.

@ To the people, modders, etc. and whoever knew/know how to do this.

Can you please test this to Windows 7 cause I don’t have that OS.

StarTrader and I mean:

1. When we disable all our network connections we cannot see our LAN FLServer on the same machine.

2. If we set our Freelancer.exe shortcut to “…\freelancer.exe -s127.0.0.1:2302” then we can see our FL Server and can connect to it and play, even though all our network connections are still all disabled.

Did somebody already tried to host a LAN multiplayer by using ADOXA’s procedures on Windows 7?

When you are not connected to the outside world without internet,wifi, etc.

Where your computer/PC/desktop/laptop and you are both together doing nothing and play Freelancer alone.

How can you play the the Multiplayer?

By using ADOXA’s tips - - - - -

This is ADOXA’s hack procedures on how to do it :

–-- 1) Go to your Freelancer group and start FLServer (or run Freelancer\EXE\FLServer.exe);

---- 2) enter anything for the name and make sure “Allow New Players” is checked;

---- 3) bring up the properties for your Freelancer shortcut; you should now see the “Target” highlighted, so press End and paste in everything between the quotes: “ -s127.0.0.1:2302”;

---- 4) start Freelancer, select “Multiplayer”, create the account if you haven’t already done so, select “LAN” and you should see your server there.

Please can someone please try it on Windows 7 if it will work.

Thanks.

I need to post something even I already posted many messages so that this topic will not be remove from the LATEST POSTS above.

Cause people will not see my topic if it is removed above.

Can someone please try the method of ADOXA on playing LAN multiplayer without an internet connection or no connection to the outside world ( World Wide Web ).

I don’t have any source of Windows 7 to try this anywhere. My friends uses XP OS and none of them uses Win 7 yet.

If I rent a PC, I am just wasting my money only just to do this trick.

If somebody has a Windows 7 already or someone is using it right now, please try it.

Thanks.

@ rsabatino

Thanks for trying it.

So it is still just the same as the Vista.

Well XP is really the best one for gaming compatibility.

Windows 7 has also a IPv6 problem?

Oh No!

Not again it is the same like Vista!

Thanks for trying.

Wish that on Win 7, there will be a fix for this.

HEHE!!!
