Yes, I know I could have done better than the 9800 GTX+, but I got a good deal and it will handle all I want/need to shove through it.

Nice result, fellas! Congrats!

Then you have clearly chosen the wrong type of hosting. You need a VPS at worst...a dedicated server would be ideal, if you have the money.

Quote from PoVo :

Pretty crappy that I can't update my insim anymore, because EXE uploading was blocked

Moving host soon

Too bad this was done

FYI...Unless you have a dedicated or virtual private server, most LFS server suppliers block uploading of EXE files because it's a security issue. My suggestion would be to send the EXE file (zip it first) with an explanation of the update to the Alien Serve admins and they can upload it for you after verifying it poses no securtiy issues. Standard procedure, IMHO.

The Grand Touring Cup Club Championship returns to LOTA with the Winter 2010 season slated to start on February 18th! This season will be a challenging one with trips to Aston Club, Fern Bay Club, two trips to South City, and other tire grinding tracks like Westhill International and Aston National Reverse.

Also back is the field leveling IRB rules designed to challenge each driver to get the most from the car each week while keeping an eye on the ultimate prize: Season Championship!

The season gets started in two weeks at Blackwood GP and registration for individual and squad championships now open!

To get more information and to register, please visit www.lfs-lota.net!

Congrats to SA for finally formalizing the team existance within the community! Have enjoyed racing with and watching you guys run in LOTA and other leagues. Good luck in your future LFS adventures!

My apologies fellas for not making round 1. I think I was still at work when you guys were finished, so....maybe round 2!

Skins for CoRe Racing.

Happy New Year guys! Looking forward to a great 2010 and some fantastic things coming up!

Quote from PoVo :

Just replace the LFS.exe and all files from a X10 dedicated host using FTP. Saves time for you and AlienServe

Chances are, if things are set up properly, that you cannot upload any executable files via FTP on a shared machine. Too many security risks.

Just a thought here....the closer you get to the first race(i.e. 1 week out), it might be a good idea to change it from a rotation to only on the upcoming combo, that way the people that are preparing for the races can not only get used to the combo, but the other drivers as well in that combo.

Welcome back, Darko!

What about that yellow one I made?!?!??!? Though the rainbow one is unique...I'm not yet sold on it.

Wait a stinkin' minute.....

Quote from Elderado :

Hmmm, 415 races and you were on the podium 418 times Lee? So you probably came in first and second in 3 races? I heard some weird stuff was happening on those CORE servers ......

Quote from pearcy_2k7 :

And why do you think that was sherlock? So he could drive GTAL maybe? Give your head a shake, Ken is certainly good enough for CoRe GT2 and everyone knows it, they just didn't put him in because he wanted to go into GTAL against 3 year olds so he can actually get a win.

This was certainly not the case. We knew Ken was fast, but he didn't really have any experience in endurance racing, which we all know is more than just being able to drive consitantly for an hour at a time without crashing too much. He needed to get the other experience of learning to adapt to a setup that isn't necessarily his "ideal" setup and to work with another person on strategy, etc.

I do have to admit, though, that it's becoming clear that Ken will only drive this season in GTAL as he is showing the speed needed for MoE GT2.

Oh, for Christ's sake....make up your friggin' mind!

CoRe Racing has been using a server from Alien Serve (thanks Simon!) for a month now, and the service and server have been great!

Quote from ghostrider83 :

.:RB:. Would like to extand our welcome to our newest member of our team. Some of you might know him as the clan leader of *=SAS=* Stars and Stripes Klan. He will also be given the rank of Admin with in our team.

Wait...didn't you change team names from *=SAS=* to ~~Rebel~Bloods~Motorsports~~ ??

So, you kicked this guy out as an admin of *=SAS=* , then brought him back (i.e. "newest") as an admin of ~~Rebel~Bloods~Motorsports~~? Some serious :juggle: going on here.

:wtf2:

BTW....that is officially my first post with more than 10 special characters.....

Also, is it a clan or a klan or a team?

The laptop has whatever I deem necessary, as he hasn't bought it yet.

Just to clarify, the whole point of this is not to extend the internet connection (which is crappy dial-up, btw) to his remote location. He basically wants to have access to his business files from both locations.

I assume you can still do that with a Wifi connection that has nothing to do with the Internet.

Yes, if you can't tell, I am networking illiterate.

OK, here's the situation:

My father runs a parts machining business on his home property. He runs his business (paperwork, billing, etc) from his home office via a desktop PC located in his house, while his machine shop is located in a permanent, yet separate building. He is frequently on the road doing quotes for new business and would like to be able to access his business software (Peachtree) via a laptop while out and then synch from his shop office when he returns.

His internet situation is rudimentary at best due to his rural location, so I don't consider that to be part of the solution. Also, I don't want to go to the trouble to install networking cables from his house to the shop, so the solution needs to be remote. I can spec out a laptop for him, but I need to know what I need to get for his laptop and desktop to create this wireless home network.

Thanks in advance for the advice!
