Hi,

I'm having some problems running LFS dedicated servers. I have been running LFS servers for some time now and I do know about ports and such stuff.

The problem is, my server was running Windows 2003 and now I have migrated to Windows server 2008 R2 x64 and with the same LFS config files anyone who tries to connect is getting "connect timed out" errors.

My LFS servers are visible on LFSWorld and Insim relay is working. But when a client is trying to connect, LFS dedicated server just writes (network debug is on) "Guest wants to join" and that is about it.

I have forwarder ports 29339 and 63392 (TCP and UDP) and a few other ports but it's the same with any port I try to set in LFS config file...

Please help.

Windows firewall not setup correctly? It's actually effective in 2008 server.

First tried with exceptions. Then turning off. Then killed Firewall service. No luck...

I think I'm going to reinstall my server back to Windows 2003...

Exceptions should work - provided that you're applying them to the correct profile. Killing the firewall should result in no remote access to the box under 2008 server as it will go into deny mode.

I'll use a 2008 x64 r2 box from work if I can tomorrow and do some testing.

I can access all other services which are running on that box normally. Even Insim can access LFS servers.

Thanks for your help

I didnt get a chance on Sunday or today, but I will tomorrow morning - I'll let ya know if it works shortly afterwards (just so you know I've not forgotten).

Tested this morning on a 2008 R2 x64 box with no trouble s1mon Pretty much just worked.

Thank you for your time and effort.

Unfortunately, my servers are still offline. I even reinstalled my box to Win 2003 and the result was the same, LFSWorld can connect, LFS client can't.

Did anyone try to host LFS servers in Hyper-V box with VLAN ID (trunking)?
