Quote from the_angry_angel :

The instructions depend on the software (obviously).

what instructions are you referring to?

also, when I type in the ip address into the browser, should it be my computer's ip address or my router's ip address?

where do i find my router's ip address?

when i put in my computer's ip address, it brings up a motorola login page instead of linksys. i use a hp laptop, so i don't know why it is motorola

i have a router somewhere else in my house that wirelessly connects to several other computers and I think it is cable/broadband. the router is a Linksys WRT54G i believe. what is the hardware and software that i need to know and what will i do with that information?

so, after configuring the dedicated server file, (as if I never opened the ports) what would i do next?

so this is what the folder should look like (in attachment)?

Yea ive seen that thread. when you ask what i mean by command file, i mean that it says a command line is needed for a dedicated server in the readme i think. I think i might need to type "LFS /cfg=setup.cfg" after going to Run and typing in cmd. is that true?

also, if you say that the command.txt file is incorrect, then what should it look like. if possible please attach an example. thanks

btw: can i make a welcome file with microsoft word and make it: /welcome=welcome.doc in the setup.cfg file?

Hello, I've tried many times and failed to make a dedicated server on LFS demo. I am wondering if anyone could help me create a server on my Windows XP computer. I recently downloaded the LFS Dedicated Server Host X10 program (from the Additional Downloads section of www.lfs.net) and I am experiencing problems with getting the server to work and appear on the master server. After downloading the program, i configured the setup.cfg file and went to "My Network Places" on my computer, clicked "View network connections," then right-clicked my internet connection, clicked properties, then clicked the Advanced tab at the top of the window, then clicked "Settings" in the Internet Connection Sharing section, then I clicked "Add..." at the bottom of the window, then I named the service (Live for Speed Server), and filled in my computer's IP address, and filled in 63392 in both the external and internal port sections, and finally set it to TCP and pressed OK. I am wondering if I am opening the ports correctly, and also if I am creating the command file or command line correctly. It would be helpful if you sent me your entire LFS Dedicated Host file (including the data and docs folders, the setup.cfg file, a sample welcome text file, and especially a command file, and any other important file items included) which you edited and configured and that functions properly to [email protected]. Also, if it isn't of inconvenience to you, please help me step by step through the entire process of creating a server from beginning to end so I am assured to have a working dedicated server. I thank you very much and hope to be provided assistance soon.

Question #1: Am I opening the ports correctly and do I have to do another thing?

Question #2: What is port forwarding and how do I do it? Is it any different from opening a port?

Question #3: Where do I put the command file and the command line?

Question #4: What should a command file and command line look like?

Question #5: What is a command file and command line?

Question #6: Is the setup.cfg that I attached correctly configured?

Question #7: Is the entire LFS Dedicated Server folder (attached) correctly made? - The attachment doesn't include the data folder because the maximum file size would have been exceeded (the original LFS dedicated folder includes the data folder). The files will be located inside the "Copy of LFS DEDI" file inside the "LFS DEDICATED FOLDER.zip" attachment.


Thank you!

that is awesome! i can draw cars very well but not nearly as good as you can . i bet you could just draw your own skins on paper because you're so good lol. keep it up!

I made this skin for my racer name, Carbon_R, but you can still use it even though you're not Carbon_R lol. It features carbon fiber in it and also some other logos and writing. Enjoy! tell me how you like it. Although the skin seems a bit simple, the way it looks on the car is much better.

ATTENTION: CHANGE COLOR SETTINGS TO THOSE SHOWN IN LAST PICTURE ATTACHED
