Exactly. Now you didn't mention what operating system you are running but if it's Windows 7 (or up) the problem is maybe here; http://windows.microsoft.com/e ... features/windows-firewall

Windows XP; http://support.microsoft.com/kb/283673

Iam having some problems when I try to play multiplayer, I have a new computer, I installed S2 6E version, but at the moment I try to conect to a server the server list says wrong version 0.

I have no antivirus, no antyspyware, all options beneath server list down to the right are ok.

this is what I get when I try to conect,



I hope you can help me, many thanks

Next time try not use IP Patch or/and Pereulok. This s**t changed your master server port in cfg.txt. Change it back to

Master Port 29339

Wrong, he connected to the master server correctly.

In his photo you can see that it tried to connect to 476 hosts.

For some reason his computer is not receiving UDP packets back from the hosts.

these are my test

dariolopez : I think you should make a new thread asking for help on this specific problem.

Your photograph shows that you do not have any problem connecting to the master server, so your problem is not on topic for this thread.

The master server has sent you a list of hosts and your computer received that list and tried to ping them all, but never got a reply. You have successfully connected to a host by direct connection. That proves that UDP packets do get from you to the host. For some reason, related to your router or firewall or some problem with Windows, you are not receiving UDP packets back from the host. I recommend you state this in a new thread, along with information about your version of Windows, what type of network setup you have, what software firewall you are using.

Scawen:

Ok it is a good idea, I will open a new post, thank you and all the others fir the help

2 weeks now and i am still having the same problems with "lost connection to host " ive tried the following
1.flushing dns/renewing ip
2.turning off all firewalls
3.system restore
4.renewing internet cable into pc
5.port forwarding to lfs ip
6 disabling various firewall/nat ect in router itself
7.resetting router and contacting bt on the problem no problem found (currently have a 39mbs speed upload of 10mbs )
8.changing malware programs
9.changing antivirus program (advice from dmr sean and dmr atomant in lfs )

my problem is i can get online for about 5mins then my ping goes intermitently from 20 to 500 to 20 for 5mins then all of a sudden past 900 and i get "lost connection to host" i cant understand and nor can others ingame why i have such a high ping (only in lfs as i dont suffer this in either battlefield 2 or simraceway) with a 39mbs connection speed if anyone can check my connection logs for DMR DABUTTON and see if its a problem between the lfs master server and myself or has any help at all would be great been playing this game for 3 years and enjoy it dont want to stop playing for something like this .

Quote from waynedru78 :

and see if its a problem between the lfs master server and myself or

The master server only provides the server list and there is some verification going on when you connect to a server in the provided list. After that, more or less you are dealing with that particular server. (Not entirely, don't know exactly how this CPW thing works, never tried to analyse that).

Try some different servers, can also be the server where you on which has a problem with you.

Also try to click on the TCP button as last resort in the N-list (on top, behind server name).

yeah have tried tcp which is spiking between 20 and 500 then dc ing on all servers I have been on .

So why no CG S2 then? Didn't see you in the S2 logs while you have almost 1400 laps registered from your previous active years.

I will try cg s1 and s2 tonight but i doubt i will have any luck i think a complete win 7 reboot is on the cards .after a reboot my problem has been fixed thanks for all your help much appreciated .

hi,

I have the Same problem,

i have 511 no replay servers , with 0 wrong versions.

i removed every single firewall even i opened a DMZ on my router, i did connect to some servers on LFSworld.net by logging and opening the game from there directly connecting by host name and i played smoothly without any problem but the servers nothing at all

You have that UDP problem I described in my post 8 posts up from here (not a problem with connecting to the master server).

Which version of Windows are you using?

User Mr Lonely found a solution on this thread :

Hi Guys. I can't get a reply from any multiplayer servers.

S2 Licence
0.6F5 (with Oculus Rift DK2)
Windows 7 64bit
firewall and anti virus deactivated/disabled
Updated killer network controller (MSI Z87-GD65)


Ping and tracert results attached. Any help or suggestions appreciated. Thanks.

EDIT: SOLVED. I updated my network adaptor driver again using the one posted on Qualcomm site. The newer version posted on MSI website for my motherboard was the problem.

FIXED**
Click on Start.
Click on Control Panel.
Double click on the System icon (in Windows XP, you may need to click Switch to Classic View on the left hand side of the screen).
Select the Hardware tab.
Click on Device Manager.
Expand the section labeled Network Adapters.
Right click on your network card and select Properties.
Click on the Advanced Tab
Click on Checksum Offloading (or Hardware Checksumming).
Change the value on the right to Disable.
Click OK.

Hello

It seems that I have connectivity problem with your master server.
Below the test results. I am from France and my ISP is Orange. I did a fresh install of LFS on a fresh install of windows 7.

I do not think it is due to me ISP because I can reach London and Level 3 routers.

Thanks for your help !

It's pretty normal that a server doesn't respond on ping or trace requests, doesn't tell anything about if a server can be reached or not.

So why pinging server is part of the test procedure (detailed on the first post of this thread) if the server does not answer to ping request ...

In case I would in the wrong, I would be a good idea to change test procedure ...

Tssss I forgot my f*** box firewall, stupid

However my firewall did not block ping requests ...
