Freelancer - The Void

>:P Today i installed an upgraded motherboard and Ram into my computer, this is where i am getting the parts to build my Dedicated server.  Anyways, i reinstalled windows XP, reinstalled freelancer and began hosting the server on my upgraded machine.  (From and AMD XP 2200+ to a 3000+ and from 512 ram to 1gb soon to be 2.)  Basically the motherboards are the same with the exception to the upgradeable.   Well, the problem i am running into now is, when i try to connect to the server that is being hosted on the same machine it will not connect and the IP is listed as fe80:219fe9e:24a1 whatever that means.  It is listed as this under both Lan and Internet.  In a fluke i am sure, the IP showed up under Lan as my local ip and i was able to connect but i don't think i changed anything.  I have registered my server and it is visable on the website so i am really at a loss.  I disabled the windows firewall and even uninstalled norton completely.  Any ideas?!?! >:P        :-w

P.S. i unplugged my modem today and it appears that i do  not have a static IP so i may have to looking getting one.  There for my server's IP has changed.  The name is the same if you would like to play on it

IPv4 - 192.168.1.1 <----What most people get
IPv6 - 1337:0DB8:35A3:18B782EEF02F (Or what you're getting there.)

The v6 is a 128 bit protocol instead of your regular 32 bit v4.

It uses hexidecimal while the v4 uses a decimal system. That means it uses Numbers: 0-9 and Letters: A B C D E F.

All the v6 basically does is that it allows you more connections.

Hope it helps.

Plus I advise you don't advertise other servers here. (Your Signature) I'm not bein a PITA. Just handing out a friendly warning.  :D

I would just like to say that I have no idea  :D  :-??

That gave me an idea, i just uninstalled the V6 and is solved the problem.  Thanks Ripper for the idea though.  I guess the V6 was taking over for the applying of the IP address and i guess that one time i got on, was when it reverted back to the old TCP/IP setting.  But all is well now.  Thanks

If you are hosting the server on the same machine as you are playing Freelancer on you can also connect by using 127.0.0.1.  This a loopback IP that you use to test NICs.  I have also used it to connect to myself when playing with the server hosting software.
