hi there. I already checked for the related topics but they're all old so I start a new one !!
I succeed to install the game but everytime I try to play, in the connection page, the small box on the right tells me the connection to fragnetics failed... and it's right, I cannot connect to the game :'(
I'm using ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid ibex).
I have the V.0.4.03 of the game
I ran the updater and the answer was : "No updates needed!"
I tried with the -repair option and the answer was : "All files passed the check !"
I tried to ping the fragnetics server and I got this answer :
didi@didi-laptop:/opt/PlaneShift$ ping laanx.fragnetics.com -c 4

I granted an exception for the port on the firewall (using Firestarter) and he told me the port's name(called "service") was "unreal". I granted this "for everyone"
I also tried to connect after shutting down my firewall
But the answer was all the time "failed"
Do you have super magic solutions ? Because I don't know what more can I do
thanks !
PS: yeah, I also checked the server status and it's online !

Normally this shouldn't be necessary, but from theory point of view, you also have to forward inbound traffic to you client pc (I assume firewall and planeshift-client are on different machines)
Have a look at http://www.fs-security.com/docs/fs-manual.pdf and there page 14: Inbound.. -> Forward service (15 should show outbount policy you already did)
Background: Planeshift uses UDP (you did the rules for UDP, no?) and thus has independent outgoing and incoming packets (so you need a rule for both directions)
