Hi there, I'm trying to help a league-mate solve one strange problem he is having with one specific server.

We have four servers, all hosted in the same machine (I checked it using TCPView), that we use in this league. Three of them are team servers and the other one is owned by the league. Well, he claims that since about a week he's constantly having problems with one of the team servers - ironically, his own team server.

He reports that he sees all cars in that server with over 50 seconds lag, then suddenly he see them move for a very brief moment and then they lag again. At the same time, people seem to not see him in track, "only when he's stopped".

He doesn't lose connection to the host, so that would mean that he's still having a fluent enough TCP connection to keep him alive, but what he describes looks like he's not sending (people can't see him) and neither receiving (he can't see others) UDP packets.

I repeat that he only has this problem with this host www.nls.es | XspaTM, but not with the other three servers hosted in the same machine (www.nls.es LFS-CESAV.net #Q, www.nls.es | DMS, www.nls.es |<<LFR>>).

This doesn't make any sense, does it?

Right now he's using control+T to play in UDP mode, but I told him that's not the right solution. In fact, that's only a turnaround fix, but the problem is still there.

Try changing the server with the issue to different ports.

For the users who purchased the £6.50 2 server offer, this price will not increase for as long as the servers are rented from us.

Quote from Jakg :

So I have a maximum of 73 GB to share with all of your users?

Hmmmm, not so "unlimited" anymore.

I have to say I do find that *very* misleading.

What bandwidth are we looking at here?

We are talking about a game server, not a web server, the requirements in specifications vary alot between the two. Our web servers run multiple SCSI drivers with a striped set, obviously you are not limited to "73GB".

Details of new plans will be released shortly, although this does not affect users who currently have a service with us.

Thanks.

Quote from Jakg :

So no mention of how much "unlimited" HDD space actually is then?

15,000 RPM SCSI drivers are very small...

We will have new inclusive game server web hosting plans released shortly, with set out defined limits.

A 73GB drive is not small for a server, its plentiful considering the LFS dedicated server is only a couple of MB in filesize.

Quote from Corey-McA :

hang on a minute ive just been on that (AlienServe) server and i was the only one on there and i lost connection... they cant be that powerful then

Hi, we have connection monitoring software checking our servers 24/7 for server load, connection drops, latency increases and the second a problem occurs on one of our machines we get notified. As we havent had any issues reported I can only assume that the connection drop was on your end, I can assure you, it has nothing to do with how "powerful" the hardware is, the spec of our machines are overkill for running the LFS dedicated server. For example the "AlienServe" demo server is running on a Dell Poweredge Dual Xeon 3.0GHZ, 4GB ECC Memory, 15,000RPM SCSI drives.

Quote from vicbel :

Is there a term on the contract or can we try for a month and if it does not work pull out?

No lengthy contracts at all, you can pay month by month. Yearly billing is also available should you want it.

We have now added support for Race Director 1.2.0.0, which can be installed within a couple of clicks.

Quote from Jakg :

I think he was asking what you actually have - nothing (esp not bandwidth or HDD space) can ever be unlimited.

As said, we don't have an actual limit in force on the amount of bandwidth and hard disc space used. We have no quibbles how much HDD space or transfer is used / month, as long as its used for a lawful purpose and does not infringe upon any copyrights. e.g. We wouldnt allow pirated software/warez, filedumps, topsites, mail bombers.

Quote from Fire_optikz001 :

EDIT: what are the specs of ur webhosting like bandwidth and hd space?

With all our game servers free hosting packages we do not enforce any hd space limits or bandwidth limits, as long as the content is used for a legal purpose.

Quote from Rommy :

Hey I got a problem i download program Live for speed DEDI and tried to create own server but it says hostname is already in use sorry im noob at this im new in lfs so please help me

Edit your setup.cfg, and change the host name to a unique value.

e.g. replacing the value after "/host=" with your unique server name.
// host name
/host=AlienServe
