Just edit the hostname, make sure the port is correct and in theory, job done. Clearly however this is not the case for you.
What firewall are you using?

I am using McAfee Antivirus. Sorry for the late response, I was moving and packing.

Also, is your ISP Orange in the UK? I know several people who are unable to play FL on at least some of their network. There is a solution for this, if this is the case.

I live in the US, but is there a possibility that my ISP could be what you mentioned?

Im new here and am having similar issues trying to connect to my lan (local server for my son and I) server. The IP is an IPv6 protocol address, and the usual "...taken longer than expected..." pop up appears whenever either of us try to connect. We are running windows 7 and IPv6 is the problem. However I don't think disabling IPv6 is a good idea at this time.
Here's some info on IPv6 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv6 Seems to me completely disabling IPv6 is using a hammer when what ya need is a pair of tweezers. For me and My setup here the potential downside especially as the protocol is in such large scale transission since June 6th I believe, would be too great. Whats More I have run older software without the need to disable IPv6, I don't mind port forwarding for a game, or many other similar situations, those are gaming and they happen. But disabling a protocol that the entire world is switching to as we speak is too much for me. I am no programmer and I do not pretend to know the difficulties in what IPv6 support would entail, and I AM thankful to all those people who make something like Freelancer still fun and available to all of us especially in mods like discovery. However I cannot run a server even for my local network and the cost to do such In my case at least is too great. So I find a nice low populated server and my son and I play, we have just as much fun as we would if not more so and my IPv6 is still running. I can't help but wonder though, how so many older or same age games run without disabling IPv6.

Alright, sorry for digging up an old thread, but, I found out that the "Connecting to global server" message at the top right of the screen might be preventing me from playing online. Could this be a problem?

Of course! U dont ping servers.
If mod doesnt help (any) than Global Server workorund might help. Also check what antivirus you have, some are not compatible. Next check firewall and allow FL to pass. Good luck
