Okay I've gotten a server up and running as a dedicated but I can only access it from the lan. When trying to open up a port under port forwarding on a Rosewill router it simply disappears. What's up? What am I doing wrong under port forwarding?

Okay, I have a dedicated server up and I can join it but when I try to join with my driver profile it says no drivers on the bottom right and will not let me join to race. If I set up an AI driver it will just have that driver drive in my place and tell me that I can not connect more than one person. However, again with my regular profile it won't let me.

I'm interested, sounds like fun.

I'm from CT - I'm going to have a friend come over tomorrow and try to help me out with creating a 24/7 dedicated server on my home pc. I'm on a 3.3ghz AMD quad core with 8gb of ram - so it would run without a hitch. My connection caps out at around 80-90k/s upload as well so I think it might be smooth with 12-15 people racing on it at 40k/s max upload used. Well at least thats what the chart said that I would be using when I looked at the in game non dedicated server settings.

I'll let you guys know more when I know more about it. But I've had the game for about a week now and I'm tired of racing on 100+ ping German snob servers. I'm bringing it back home.

Can you play from the same computer that you create a dedicated server on? Just curious. Thanks.

Quote from yeager :I've been racing LFS from around the globe since they released the game. The past 3 years i've raced from the West coast on a Comcast line and never had a single problem with any euro servers.

And moaning about $20 for the best online racing game ever invented? Bah, shame on you.

Shame on you sir for not asking more out of your internet connection. I can feel the difference between 20 and 60 ping on most online games in a heartbeat. I think a racing game is a little more lenient on latency interpretation than a first person shooter, but still, it's noticeable.

And it was $40 in total - I'm a college student at the moment with a mommy and daddy that are failures economically.

But - I hardly purchase games - this obviously is a cut above the rest for me to purchase it.

Tell me about it. Oh well, just because it's old doesn't mean its bad.

Well if I stop uploading pron through torrents I'm sure I have enough upload to host a server... something like 70-80k/s upload reliably through this line. That could support how many? I could do a dedicated on my computer since its overpowered (3.3ghz amd quad core) and then also run a seperate instance of LFS everytime I actually wanted to race.

Lmk your thoughts on starting up a dedicated on my home line..

3 monitor setup questions

I just built a new rig (Amd quad core 3.3ghz, 8 gigs of ram, ATI 4890 videocard) I am running LFS on a 24'' at 1920x1080. If I want to add say 2 more 20's or 22''s would I have to run them at the same resolution as my primary or can I mix them with say 1680x1050? Also, my videocard only has two outputs, is there an adapter to make it run a third + software to go along with this - or do I have to have another videocard to support a third monitor? I DO have an onboard videocard (motherboard: Biostar TA790 GXB) The onboard videocard is equivalent to something like a crippled 7800 I would guestimate. Is it possible to have the onboard run a monitor and then have the 4890 run the other two? Thanks for dealing with all of my questions.
United States Servers?

Are there any united states based servers? I am doing the refresh list of server hosts and I run into all 120-180 ping servers which are rightly either West Coast or out of the US entirely.

Also, I've purchased an S1 license and really have only seen servers that were / are set up for the demo cars.

Are there only a few servers that are S1? Do I have to do S2 to find any decent servers with more cars? Are there any US based servers? What am I doing wrong!

Sorry for the rant and thank you for your help.
