Im having the same problem. Could u perhaps explain better what u did.

I'm getting the same thing. I can't connect to the Master Server. Something with the update?

Sorry for a double post, but I didn't want to create a new thread. I still can't connect. I've tried messing with my Firewall, switched my wireless network (being on a laptop), tried using the Test patch W40, and the Offical patch W. I get the Cannot Connect to Master Server error screen.

I'm having the same problem, where is the HOSTS file to delete the ip addy? I forget, can someone jump in here to help...please

Just telling you the same problem, not possible to connect to masterserver.
Plz some GURU help us out here.

Try this ant (or anyone with this problem), it works for me (with XP).

1) Local Disk Drive (C)
2) Windows
3) System32 Folder
4) Drivers Folder
5) Etc Folder
6) Hosts File (open it with wordpad, then delete the 213.40.196.103 master.liveforspeed.net line and save it).

and here. Cant Connect.

That´s it

the old master IP still worked because I had a TCP-relay running on it, forwarding your traffic to the new master. But I've shut this down now after 2 weeks. DNS servers should have updated by now.
If you cannot connect, then indeed check rc10racer's post - maybe you had the old master IP written in the hosts file : http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?p=441675#post441675
Remove the master.liveforspeed.net line if it is there.

1 minute work and a great step by step manual makes Pickard a GURU.



It works and I'll post it on our forum too www.sccabco.com

"can not connect to master server i cant even ping it.

What does master.liveforspeed.net resolve to? (to check goto start > run, type "cmd" click ok. Type "nslookup master.liveforspeed.net" into the command prompt and hit enter/return.

You should find that it's 213.40.20.2 (currently).

Ok guy's same problem can't connect to master sever, Been off the game for a while 2+ weeks, I Have tryed CMD.EXE Ping master.liveforspeed.net And its pinging fine ive also Tryed Program file's,Window's,Driver's,ETC,Host's and adding 213.40.20.2 master.liveforspeed.net I saved it but still Can't connect to LFS. This is not due to my windows firewall i have tryed everthing you can think of to do with windows firewall Allowing LFS though, It's very strange. Im also running window's vista


The strange thing is i got a knew PC cause my other one messed up on me
i got this computer and Downloaded LFS Patch_W+ Then it worked fine i then was told to install patch W_17 had very hard time getting online but didnt seem to be as difficult, as what it is now i have updated to W_47 I Have tryed everything, im now waiting for Patch_X As ive been trying so hard and not got anywhere

Anything to say?

Thank's, for Reading/Helping Frm Springer

Did it work until you updated to a new patch? Or were you having trouble before hand?

you need to allow new LFS.EXE file in your firewall especially in the bloatware Vista thingy:-).The checksum changed for the firewall so it looks like new program.Common problem.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Ok thank's for the reply still no help to me.

once again Ive Tryed everything ive allowed the new LFS.EXE though my firewall, And yes it only did it when i updated to Patch_w47

Still having the same problem with Patch_x, I think this is because Window's Vista Has noticed that everytime i Update to a new Patch, The LFS.EXE change's. And thinks its a Virus And Block's It, But unlike Window's XP it doe's not come up with a warning massege Asking If I Trust The program, Wich Suck's but im working on it.

It should not be there at all. Some people have it because the masterserver moved to an other ip some time ago.

If you want to try you should use the current ip insead of the old.

So you could try:
213.40.20.2 master.liveforspeed.net

which version of LFS do you run? You can see that at the bottom of the main menu of LFS.
