Couldn't get the server running on my linux box with wine, and can't be bothered to host it on my connection every day. I'll probably do a passworded race evening for lfs'ers again tomorrow if everything works out.
I just wish things would be easier for hosters and players, Kunos hasn't learned a single bit (or just doesn't think it needs priority) from the online disaster that was netkar. I do think however that the release is rushed, they certainly where not ready last week, so with a bit of luck in a couple of weeks we may see some big steps towards something that actually works for public racing.
