Cant connect to the Global Server

Like the subject says i cant make a connection to the global server, which is weird cause i was playing FL a few months ago online with no problems. Ive uninstalled and reinstalled the game and still cant connect. The only other thing that i can think of is that my firewall doesnt like FL, but its the same one that i was running a few months ago, just updated. Ive also made a lan game but i cant find that either.

Check your DirectX version to ensure it's 9.0b

I also had this problem and had to disable zone alarm before it would work. I couldn't even browse lan games.

There are a number of solutions to MP problems at microsoft.com. Many of them are most likely due to the dodgy code that FL uses in MP. I would suggest trying there first, and then searching this forum, as there have been a number of posts about MP problems, and some solutions have actually worked. If you are unsucessful, let me know, and I'll do some detailed analysis of your particular quandry and we'll see what happens .
