ok ok now. Im a new user. I just wanted to say i found a way in to the game after creating dozens of accounts which i hope the admin will delete, (freelander, freelancer, enforcer) just to name a few.

First off my system has the following spec\'s.

-Nvidia nforce 2 mother board
-AMD Athlon Xp 2700+ (2.0ghz)
-2 GB of pc 2700 ddr memory
-Nvidia Gforce 4 Ti 4600
-Windows Xp with Service Pack 1

-I have a home network and I am using a Linksys Router/Firewall.

I was able to get the game to run only if

1.) you set the compatability mode to Win98/ME
2.) convert the DNS to the IP address
3.) Access the Router and put it on \"DMZ\"
( i know, i know it would completly expose your computer to the internet, but its the only way i can get it to comunicate with the servers). I tried port forwarding before that and i kept getting the database error.
