3.6.10 doesn't really narrow it down.  Where did you download it from?  What's the date on the exe?

Grab this one: StandaloneFixes-1.7z (http://www.freespacefaq.com/Misc-Downloads/Builds/StandaloneFixes-1.7z)

If it still doesn't connect rename the multi.cfg and fs2open_pxo.cfg files in your data directory and try it again.  Doesn't matter what you rename them to just something you can remember in case you need to put them back.

Can you guys by any chance host the file in a WinZip or WinRar file? I can't open 7Z files..

Yes you can (http://www.7-zip.org/).

Edit: Any remotely current version of WinRAR can, as well.
