I'd also like to know what connections are being closed.

The connections you make to each server on the list to get the ping etc details.

Quote from Hyperactive :

No one knows?

That it's closing connections and trying to exit "gracefully"? It takes a while for a connection to time out I suppose if a server/servers isn't responding.

Quote from Roadie :

also 97Watts is wrong for a 7800GT.. maybe idle.. Load they draw around 250watts.

Ok. So an SLI setup should have around 800W PSU then I guess. How much for my 850XT then?

GeForce 7800 GT PCI-E consumes 97 Watts. You should be fine unless you have several hdd's, fans and optical drives.

PSU Calculator: http://extreme.outervision.com/index.jsp

Sounds like you have an LCD monitor? It won't display higher resolution than that. I've done a workaround few times for screenshot purposes though by uninstalling the monitor driver and so on...

I think that's an indication of a cooling issue then. Might be a good idea to clean the CPU/GFX heatsink if you haven't done that lately. I guess you could try and play with opened case to see if that happens then. You could also limit your FPS to a bit lower number like 60 so that LFS doesn't use 100% of the CPU all the time. It should prevent the overheating quite nicely.

EDIT: The throttling may also happen because of power saving I guess so try putting that to "always on"

I'm no P4 expert but could it be the thermal throttling dropping the CPU speed?

EDIT: this program should tell you that: http://www.panopsys.com/downloads/ThrottleWatch.zip

Open task manager (ctrl+alt+del), view processes and press the CPU tab twice to sort them according to cpu usage. Run LFS in a window and see if any app pops up and hogs the CPU when the slowdown occurs.

But how to change it anyway?
I would like to make a custom favicon for a website.

Upload a favicon.ico to the root directory of your website, that's it.

Icon must be 16*16 pixels. 16 colors will work definitely, not sure about 256. Google for a free icon editor if your paint program can't make them directly.

Or just use this site and any kind of image/size: http://www.html-kit.com/favicon/

It is the whole answer in this case.

For example my camshaft never goes out of sync (it'd break things) due to normal wear of the cam gear. For every revolution of the camshaft the crankshaft turns twice and not 2.000001 times.

Quote from Hyperactive :

It's pretty much the same thing. Bigger diameter = more teeth in cogs in general. You can use both when calculating the ratios...

I still say that cogs are the determining factor and not the diameter I said that only because 0.000001 differences (mentioned by tristan) can't be achieved. Changing the diameter by 0.000001 doesn't change the ratio at all.

Nitpicking though so nevermind.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Erm, there is no FIXED definition of rice. The parameters are flexible depending on what other paramaters there are.

....
If the car has far too much power compared to it's grip = Rice
If the car has far too much grip for it's power = Rice.
...

For me personally, a purist if you may, that's not the case. I approve any modification as long as it improves performance. That is usually the goal, right? That beamer makes a faster laptime than a stock one and therefore doesn't fit my idea of rice. It's handy too, I don't have to explain why a WRC car isn't rice and something else that is similar is.

I guess we both can agree though that a 37hp Daihatsu Charade 1.0L 3 cyl diesel on hybrids isn't rice? It doesn't have too much power nor too much grip

Quote from tristancliffe :

In real life you could have the ratio's made to any diameter, and so have a resolution of 0.000001 if you wanted. But it'd be ludicrously expensive.

Diameter doesn't determine the ratio, amount of cogs do.

The max bechmark defaults to ellipsoid and maybe that isn't such a good idea because it doesnt affect the quality really. I might change that the next time the package gets updated because of a physics change in lfs.

I believe this is the correct command syntax for you:


If it still fails you should run checkdisk first by typing
in the command prompt. It will ask if you want to schedule a check during next boot.

Another way is to view properties of the C drive in my computer and selecting the tools tab->disk checking.

As an example, a driver can lose up to 3.5 – 4.0 litres of fluid during a race like Malaysia, which equates to 3.5 – 4 kilos in body weight.

Let me know if you find a way to achieve the same in an hour and a half without it being physically demanding

EDIT: Karting, oh yeah. A lesson there...We were karting as a part of bacholor party. I got pole and the fastest lap in the race but had to let 2 guys by because I had no strenght left in my arms to be able to keep up the pace. That sucked

If you get constant MP Time adjusts then it might be the timer problem (linked above.)

I didn't mean the average ping btw but rather how jumpy it is and if there's any packet loss. 45ms looks ok though.

I said it in third post heh Maybe that wasn't clear enough though.

How stable is your ping? Are you getting packet loss?

try with ping -n 10 google.com in command prompt. My pings were within +-1ms btw.

I guess you already tried joining another host?

EDIT: Bunch of setups here: http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/
EDIT: It can be a timer problem as well. See Scawens reply in http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... =3651&highlight=timer

Quote from Sheepy1977 :

So here is my new question,Does the host only get work under the static IP address?

It doesn't matter if it's static or not but don't you need a static IP for the port forwarding anyway?

You don't need any virtual network software to set up a static IP btw.

Have you tried to make a non dedicated host? It shouldn't matter either but might be easier to experiment with.

Last edited by vari, Sat 24 Dec 2005, 08:47.

That may also very well be but the thing I'm trying to say is that you won't get BindError by not forwarding the port in the router.

Good point

A Wrong IP causes the bind error at least here though. It should work if you leave it empty too unless you got multiple network adapters in that machine.

Check the cfg.txt for "Server IP". Add the IP of the network adapter you're using. It might help
