also make sure you have kept volume lights enabled in the advanced options (FO Launcher) when trying to join other FO games.

Im sure out of the 17 games ive tried so far, one would have been at least Fleet Ops 3 (preview)

I think this is the correct file

; Fleet Operations Configuration and Information storing File
;
; It does not give you any super special features to change values here
; The file is just here to store information about configuration
; here is nothing you couldn't change with the loader too
; Changes may trace your installation unuseable
;
; So, i hope thats enough :-)

looks fine to me.
now, you have two options. either reinstall fleet operations and try again to join any fleet operations labled games or ask someone in the online gaming forum here to make a test game with you to find out if it just was a one time event or problems related to gamespy etc etc

if that doesn't work (before re-installing), maybe you could try playing over manual IP. worth a shot i guess.
