How to fix Freelancer not connecting to a localhost server?
By Jessica Wood •
When running a Freelancer server and client on the same machine, the attempt of trying to connect results in a "takes longer than usual"-ish message that never vanishes. Firewall settings are fine and I also tried launching both server and client in compatibility modes to no avail.

Things go horribly wrong when IPv6 is available. You have to disable it for all local network interfaces, including virtual ones like the ones from VMWare.
