I got it! Thank you so much for your speedy support. Please come visit [MB] Racing sometime!

Every time we talk, I get one step closer to getting it!

Now, I filled in all of the information in the "cfg" in the "bin" folder. There is only one problem. Whenever I add new information to the "cfg", it doesn't save. What happens, is a box pops up and says, "File Lfs Lapper cfg was modified. Do you want to update it to the archive? The options are "ok" and "cancel." When I push ok, a new box comes up (red x on the left) and says "cannot update file." That means basically anything I add to the server setup wouldn't be saved.

Any Ideas?

Thank you so much for responding so quick,

I am almost there! Lapper is opened up through 7-zip. I have thoroughly went through the lfs lapper setup and made important changes. The only problem is I can't start lfs lapper!. When I clicked "WinMSBuildBat", the black screen came up, but it wouldn't start. Instead, it sais "error CS2001: Source File '. /src/*.cs' could not be found fatal error CS2008: No inputs specified" In the "WindowsMonoBuild" icon, it says "mcs is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable command or batch file". I am a computer noob and have no idea on what any of this means, do you have any idea?

Hi,

I tried downloading 7 zip, and it was successfully installed to my desktop. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to open lfs lapper through 7zip. It is trying to open up through firefox again (like it was before). Again, I tried clicking the list (shown in two posts again), and 7 zip was not on that list. Any other suggestions?

-MBenz

I tried running it off powerarchiver. I can't start the serverl, and it is only a 30 day trial. What other programs are there I could use to run the server?

hi,

Just when I thought all of the sever issues were taken care of, Patch X came out! I tried downloading the new LFS lapper (for patch x.) Here is the link for the download:
http://ks37764.kimsufi.com/mods/LFSLapper4.0.rar .When I click the download, here is what appears: lapper 1.bmp
After I click "ok", a blank firefox screen comes on with no address and no website. Why is this? Should I be opening it through another program?

-MBenz

NOTE: Microsoft framework 2.0 is installed.

thank you for all of your help, i got the server up and running!

OK I figured out all of my home router information and I think I know how to "forward my ports"

I have followed all of the instructions for my router (which I figured out is called "Linskys BEFSR81") on portforward.com.

Here is a copy of the instructions that I used: http://www.portforward.com/eng ... Live_For_Speed_Server.htm

I believe everything went well except for one part. The last instruction: ( You should see another page of settings that need to be entered into one of the blank lines on your routers Forwarding page. Go ahead and enter those settings now.) I found to be unclear. What am I supposed to change according to what you can see.

Also, you will notice that under the forwarding chart, they fill in everything, but keep the last digit of the IP adress blank. What should I fill in?

What I have done so far is fill out this table, and put a "1" in that last digit blank under IP. I feel like I'm so close, but when it tried to reconect back to my server, It said once again "Cleint Connect:Connect Failed".

I am not having a lot of luck with this, and any feedback you can give will help me a great deal.

Thank you,
MBenz

got it!

Here is the exact model: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php ... 68b1d44cf36846535e97b415c

does anyone else know how to fix my problem (scroll above)
-thanks

I appologize, I am very uneducated with this kind of stuff

However I do know enough to be able to tell you that I have a home router; I have multiple computers linked to the same modem.

Ok I am sure that this is a port issue,

It makes sense because I can connect to the server on my computer (server is on my computer) but not on another. So the question is, how do I open my ports for the public. Is that what u guys are talking about with "port forwarding?" If that is what I have to do, how do I forward a port if I do not have a firewall? I am convinced that my computer does not have any other firewall besides the Windows one, which just for this purpose i have temporarly turned completely off. I feel like I'm almost there, thanks for all of your help!!!

do you have to forward your ports even if you do not have a firewall up?

thanks for your help,

Yup it is registered on the website. When I connect the server to the master server, there seems to be no problem whatsoever. It says satus Online, and then lower it says Track loaded. Under "host 8080" here is the information there:

lfs=0.5V
status=online
guests=0
maxguests=9
host=LM racing server
pass=
usemaster=yes
trackcfg=BL1
cars=1110000000000000000
qual=15
laps=10
conn=

If anything seems wrong or out of the ordinary with that, please let me know. Also if you wouldn't mind, please try logging on the the server "LM racing server." Whenever i try to connect to it via "join specific game" it says CLIENT CONNECTL:CONNECT FAILED. what in the world does that mean?

Thank you for your support
Mbenz



P.S I have tried making both dedicative, and non-dedicative servers and both do not work

thank you so much you have been so helpful

but unfortuantely i am retarted and can't figure out how to register on LFS World. where do u go?

Hi

I have a similar problem that Kinght had wayy back on the first page:

My server will not appear on the master server list as well. The only thing I can think of is the port... In Lfs, they say to make sure you are using the right UDP/TDP ports. How do I know if mine is right or not. If it isn't, can you somehow give me a good port to use?

Maybe this will help too: When I try to connect under "join specific game", it says client connect: connected failed

Thanks,
MBenz

under the port forwarding section:

Everything is fine until after i type in "ipconfig" after that, you say to "click" application and gaming. Well there is nothing to click, all it says is my IP information but nothing clickable, any suggestions?

Thank you

this is going to sound stupid, but what is WINE?

i made a server (MBenz racing server) and it won't load onto the list of all other internet servers. What is going on!
