DS9 Server [Hijacked] [Public]

starworlds

Hi all
Im having a major issue

I went to move the ds9 server yesterday from my home machine to a nice new crisp dedicated server and within 5 min of me moving machine, another server showed up under our old mod version 4.3

Now they have also go hold of our old server player files as well which is confusing me but nether the less now starting up the 4.4 server both try to use the same slot on the server list?? which is very confusing considering they are different version numbers.

What is also worrying is they seem to have taken over my server graph

where the server player slots increase is where they took it over

What can i do im at a loss??? and have worked so hard to get a community back

Also i have been able to launch my 4.4 server but when i do its redirected to someone elses 4.4 server with a old flhook version (this is the only way i have been able to tell its not mine other then no connections logged on server) someone is able to route the server over to their server how?

Release the PATCH with new Version ???.???.XXX.??? of Freelancer.exe with Servers and provide it to players only u know/allow (hence - password protected should be enough). That way only they can join/know which is in use.
Other than that, concerning IP and name, nothing at this point can be done (as I know). State Graph connects with IP and/or Name of the server? I think IP, cose once I runned test server on same IP, state graph got confused (very), so from than, I not have access to internet for it.

Good luck, m8!

what i dont get is i have the new server on a vps with an ip starting with 192 as its www ip

and its diffrent on my home machine

but when i launch the server the ip shows the same on all of the servers???

dose FL save the server ip in a config file in the player files section or something?

ok and here is a update…

On the launch of 4.4 the client will get redirected to 4.3 server?

i did not even think that was possible, but basicly they have a 4.3 server going and i have a 4.4 one for some reason we are showing the same IP addy, but when people try to connect to the offical mod server the 4.4 they are getting redirected to the 4.3 server and wont even notice it other then the starting writing from flhook
