Hi,

Wow, small newsgroup... hope that means everybody has time to lend a hand
:)

I've got the game MS Freelancer installed. The first part of Multiplayer
is connecting to an MS uber-server and from there choosing a server to
join.

Problem:
But when I join I just get "Connecting to Global Server" message and
nothing happens (ie: I don't get a "Connected..." msg and the list of
servers doesn't appear).

No problems previous under WinME (so the router's ok)
No other Internet problems (web and usenet are fine)
Firewall (ZA) is set to let FL through.

TIA,

Rick

(My theory is I've disabled a service that's required from starting up, but
which of the many?)
