I cannot connect to the master server since about 7 hours. I tried most of the things that we're shown here but still doesn't want to connect. Damn that sucks, I just lost a complete evening trying to fix that thing, help me mates

umm. Try downloading a complete new copy of LFS, or make sure your firewall / w/e isnt blocking it

:iagree:

Okay, I might try that, be right back

expletive removed Now that I have a fresh game with V2, I want to unlock my account and is still says that I cannot connect to the master server! What the hell is that!?!?!

It will be your firewall. You must set the rules up to allow the LFS.exe. Otherwise it will be blocking the connection to the master server (i.e the heart of LFS online)

Every test patch you install you will need to re-allow the LFS.exe to connect as the firewall picks up on it being a different .exe.

I allowed lfs_starter.exe and LFS.exe into my WIndows Firewall, but I'm not sure if I have another firewall somewhere... Anyway, it still doesn't work

Doesn't work

Is this your home PC? Or your school/university/work PC? Have you purchased a new modem or router lately?

It's my home PC, and it was working fine 'till yesterday afternoon, nor I didn't touched anything before it decided to crash

You said "crash", is it actually crashing or do you just get an error message about the master server?

What it says (In French):

Connection au serveur maître impossible

Le programme n'a pas été en mesure de se connecter au serveur maître.

Ceci peut venir de différentes raisons:

1) Si vous ètes derrière un pare-feu, il se peut que votre connection ait été bloquée.
2) Il se peut qu'il vous soit temporairement impossible de vous connecter au serveur maître à partir de votre fournisseur d'accès internet.
3) Le serveur maître peut ne pas être en train de tourner à cause de problèmes techniques.

Veuillez vérifier l'état et l'addresse IP du serveur maître ici:

Maybe the auto ban feature for people who get banned from a server too often?
Have you got an email from LFS lately?

Nope and I never got banned from any server

doesnt sound like it

Do you have a router? and other firewalls?

I have a router, but I'm not sure about a second firewall

open a cmd box (start->run->cmd) and type :

ping master.liveforspeed.net

Tell us the whole outcome

It's hard to help if all information about the problem is, that it stopped working yesterday.

ok, so reaching the master shouldn't be the problem.

hmm. Another test :

Open the cmd box again.
Then start LFS and switch to windowed mode (shift-f4)
Try to unlock.
Right after you've tried to unlock, type in your cmd box :
netstat -an

Let me know the results of that command again.
This test is to see what LFS really tries to connect to when you unlock.

I think he wants to see those IP-addresses. A screenshot of the printout would do nicely.

This is like watching an episode of 24 where Jack Bauer is hacking the Pentagon database with a packet of cheese while Chloe helps him through.
