byrney2004 - its a file, not a folder.

To complete the picture;
If you're running Windows 95, 98 (SE), or ME you can find it under: %windir%\
For Windows NT, 2000, XP and Vista: %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\
However that can be changed by the following registry key. If you know what you're doing, please feel free to check, but trust me when I say that I've never seen a store bought PC, nor seen a custom built PC recently, which actually moves the files location.
\HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters\DataBasePath

Honestly, the problem will fix itself, and if you go ahead, you should remove the entry you've added once the records have propagated.

Oh my. I just spent over an hour on the phone with a friend (patch U) trying to troubleshoot the reason he couldn't get a full serverlist. Trying to navigate him through his router menu to check firewall settings etc...

Hello, here at mexico we have 3 servers with the DEDI V, but as i can see they doesnt show at Lfs Wolrd, what do we have to do?

Change the master ip?

umm i see people are on carribean beach...but I can not see it no matter what I do...even with everything at the bottom of the screen yes I can not see it...any suggestions??? I have patch V
I can only see 10 servers. Sometimes 14

EDIT:now I can only see 3 servers...is it fixing itself or is it getting worse?

Are there still issues with this? I found 4 servers in my list earlier, added the new IP to my Hosts file which worked for a while but now the list is down to between 18-22 servers. LFSWorld is reporting about the same.

i'm afraid there's indeed something fishy going on. Many hosts are timing out for some reason - then connecting again and now some are disconnected again. If this keeps up until morning maybe it's something scawen needs to check out.

I've got a feeling that this is not just the master server. can i ask where it is now hosted? i think theres a peering issue somewhere. a server of mine hosted at Bluesquare is having problems right now also.

lfsforum.net - 213.40.196.103 (this server yes )

i can only speculate that there is a peering issue. Unfortunatly its not an easy thing to find out about at 3 am in the morning but it does appear out of any of our control victor.

EDIT: Slowly starting to get better responces from servers.

We have seriously sporadic connectivity with the UKCT server at the moment. I think something's arse-ended at rapidswitch. It looks like yet another UK-based outage, with the usual associated peering problems and gradual re-propagation going on now. It's all over the place at the moment.

[edit] Franky, ours is at BlueSquare.. I think that's where the problem begins and ends.

alright then - let's hope this'll settle soon and when we wake up all's back to normal or something

Yes. agreed. Rapidswitch is the most likely cause right now.

Thankfully all my business' servers are at Rackspace!

It's days like today that I'm glad I pay those guys stupid money. Not a single blip.

We've been at rackspace before, but they were no good for us. Great for web hosting though. Game hosting is ultra-sensitive to pings and packet drops, to the utter extreme. It can be a right pain.

AMen to that

You no doubt know more than I do about that, but Rackspace have more simultaneous connectivity providers than any other host we've found, so surely that should result in the quickest packet delivery in the country? Did you talk to them about running game servers on their boxes? They were pretty flexible with us.

Well, this figures. Just my luck. Took the day off tomorrow (today for you guys across the pond) and planned on racing or doing something all night, LOL. 4 people online at the moment.

It's certainly a good theory - and the one we arrived with, but for some reason the practice fell a long way short. We're not actually paying an awful lot for our box - we went back to leasing a few months back, because we can lease cheaper than the TCO of buying hardware and renting rack space. For what we get, we'd be paying several hundred per month at rackspace, including a comparable SLA. The SLA is the most important thing for us, of course, and a budget server at rackspace doesn't come with one worth diddly.
