Hello!
I wanted to setup a dedi server, but it displays Could not connect to master server in red.
LFS can connect to it nicely, and i have no firewalls, and i have all ports opened.

Where can be the problem?

Setup.cfg:

Quote :

/host=^7MRT Fun
/admin=you don't need to know that.
/port=1337
/mode=S1
/usemaster=yes
/track=SO1
/weather=1
/cars=MRT
/maxguests=16
/adminslots=0
/carsmax=12
/carshost=0

/pps=4

/fcv=no
/cruise=no
/start=random
/welcome=welcome.txt
/tracks=tracks.txt
/ndebug=no
/autosave=0
/mprdir=mpr
/lytdir=layout

mode needs to be

I tried bots s1, s2, S1, S2, none were working.
demo / Demo / DEMO doesn't works, too.

don't you have to 'register' it through lfsworld or something?

AFAIK DEDI server doesn't haves to be registered.
only InSim applications which uses LFSW PubStats.

could you please post your complete setup.cfg?
would be nice, thanks.

Something else you could do is to log the output from LFS to file (by typing /log logfile.txt into the server chat). You'll see a file named "logfile.txt" in the same folder as your dedi server which may give you/us more information about solving the issue.

2Heiko: that was complete setup.cfg

What happens if you try to ping the master server from the same PC you're running the dedi server on?

Open up command prompt, type "ping master.liveforspeed.net" and copy the results in here.

i would better say upgrade to Patch Z10.. because the host will not more hosted on masterserver i think.

Heiko, newest version of dedi is Z10.

amp88, i can't get it. WTF?!
It does NOT pings!
But LFS retrieves server list nicely, tried 5 mins ago!

Can you ping other sites (Google, Yahoo etc)?

sorry but i must dissagre you Shadowww...

on your log file it stand:

Feb 14 17:08:04 LFS DEDICATED HOST : 0.5Z3

so its Z3.. try to remove the actuall LFS.exe and insert the new one from patch Z10 (dedi host)

Heiko, go to LFS.net, only DEDI i found was this.

amp88, woaw?! wtf is with my PC?! Even google does not pings!
Same for LFSforum, yahoo, microsoft.com etc.

You must have a firewall on that's blocking traffic (even though you said you didn't in the OP). Windows Firewall, Zone Alarm etc.

you should go on Patch TEST Patch forum and download this Dedi Host:

2amp88: No, i have no firewall (COMODO, but it is disabled).

2Heiko: didn't fixed the problem

Problem solved, COMODO was somehow running without showing up in task manager.

Launched it, added server as trusted app, woohoo, works.
