Yes, it's apparent someone didn't read the manual. Or any of the FAQs pinned at this forum.

Please read... The Manual: http://www.fsmod.com/manual/fsman.pdf

You'll notice that there is no Single-Player availability, because it's still being made and wasn't included in the FirstStrike release. Don't try it.

It'll also say that in Multiplayer, you need to go to the Advanced tab, and uncheck all the filter-boxes at the bottom EXCEPT for "Same Mod". Hit Update List, and you'll get dozens of servers appearing.

And another thing i reckon if i do that the servers will come up but then when it loads it will freeze and then exit the program. (thats what might happen with my luck)

And thanks for the help and hopefully in a hour it will work

And sorry im at college so i didnt have time to check out the others as the tutor is constantly wandering around looking at what we are doing.

Yes thats right you are the 21st person (that I found in a brief search) who hasn't tried reading the FAQ in the manual and decided to create a topic asking the same question, when using the search button yeilded 20 results.

Well first of all, make sure you go into advanced section when you look for online games and untick all besides same mod and it should show the servers, and the single player map doesnt work.
