Ok I have determined that I have network issues that are out of my control for now. So If someone would be so kind as to tell me how I can get the game and the server to run on the same machine I would be very grateful. it seems like the server wont talk to the game or vice versa when they are on the same machine. I am trying to run a LAN server on an XP Platform.

Ok here is the deal I am willing to sacrifice the global list for now however when the lan list dose not show my server I tried the fldirectip and still cannot find my own server. Is there any way to set a static ip specifically for the Freelancer server

Hello I am starting school for media production, and I thought that building ship mods for freelancer would be and interesting side project. However I need a test server to run the mods on and I am having problems with the server. I am running an XP machine and the server seems to run fine however when I look for LAN server the list populates with Internet servers and I still don’t see my server. Further more even when I put my server online it dose not appear on the list. I installed the workaround patch some time ago and was wondering if that could be the problem? I would really like to keep the patch for online games if I can. I am not a very good software tech and have been browsing forums for about a day now and haven’t found any one with this particular problem. If any one knows a fix I would greatly appreciate the help.

I will most likely be back later for modding tips.
