Try using nslookup from a command prompt. Nslookup initially uses the default dns server you specified in your settings.
Here's an example session (some bits are in Italian, but this shouldn't be a problem):

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>nslookup
Server predefinito: www.routerlogin.com
Address: 192.168.0.1

> master.liveforspeed.net
Server: www.routerlogin.com
Address: 192.168.0.1

Risposta da un server non di fiducia:
Nome: liveforspeed.net
Address: 213.40.20.2
Aliases: master.liveforspeed.net

Then issue a server command with a dns of your choice (I use interbusiness dns servers in this test):

> server ns.interbusiness.it
Server predefinito: ns.interbusiness.it
Address: 151.99.125.1

> master.liveforspeed.net
Server: ns.interbusiness.it
Address: 151.99.125.1

Risposta da un server non di fiducia:
Nome: liveforspeed.net
Address: 213.40.20.2
Aliases: master.liveforspeed.net

What's the default dns server in your case? Does a different dns offer a different answer?

Ok I tried that and it resolves ok. Same answer with different server.
Heres the cmd cut and paste.

That's really weird. A ping on master.liveforspeed.net should be on the right IP address if there's no hosts entry. The old IP address must be taken from somewhere, and it must be from hosts file or dns searches. I'm afraid that, apart from double checking the hosts file (scrolling it down to be sure there is no blank space with additional entries at the end), I have nothing else to suggest.

Edit: Try to issue, also from command prompt, an ipconfig /displaydns |more. This displays the entries of the dns cache, one page at a time. Take note of the IP address of master.liveforspeed.net. Then issue an ipconfig /flushdns to clear cache, and try pinging master.liveforspeed.net again. Then issue an ipconfig /displaydns |more again and see if the IP address is different.

I have solved the problem .

I guessed from everybodies help that the hosts file I was checking was not the one being used. I changed my window settings to show all hidden files and folders and did a complete hard drive search.

Sure enough, the hosts file being used was hidden but still in the drivers/etc folder. It has lots of entries in it which doesnt seem right but there was an old one for LFS. I've deleted the entry and I can now connect.

One happy bunny here.

Thanks to everybody for helping, we got there in the end.

any thoughts?

I'm afraid you can't, older versions may have a hardcoded call to the old master server. More explanations in the first posts of this thread. Moreover older versions are now unsupported.

The only way to do it, maybe, would be rewriting the master server address in some way, and that task, however you may try to do it, isn't completely trivial.

If pings and traceroutes are successful, first check your firewall (especially Windows Firewall or some other personal firewall), it might be preventing LFS.exe connection to the master.

Yes, it could be. Download the latest version, or check again here if the version you use is supported by the new master server or not.
You may manually give access to LFS.exe (if it applies) via Control Panel. This page has general hints about Windows Firewall. The section about applications applies also to LFS.

Check your firewall, refer to the link in my previous post if it's Windows Firewall.

If you have a router, check the router. About the ISP, it could be blocking some traffic on the port used by LFS. This could be easily tested, but more words about it must come either from the ISP or from LFS staff. Proceed with all the checks and tests (tracert included) and be sure your version is recent.

ok i tryed to jump into multiplayer and it tells me the lfs x to x10 patch is available...

i try to select a server to download it from and get the a pop-up saying "could not creat the restarter data file".....

i then ran the ping and trace tests, results are below...

can someone help me out....im not good with the complicated stuff...

Thank you

The problem is resolved. Thank you !

Quote from Mquinn :

hey
i cant seem to see any other servers except for servers that are up for the BL GP track (normal and reversed).

That's because you're playing the demo. The only other "track" you should beable to see would be the carpark.

i have nothing to do with lfs in the host folder

i am running version 0.5x10

no its not being blocked by my firewall

this is the second post i know but i have tried all i can think of.
i seem to be able to connect and find servers to race on but cannot connect, when i try, it loads the skins and the track but then says i have lost connection to server. i have had this problem before which was corrected by copying a friends options settings. this is happening on all servers! please help

IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM TRY RUNNING IN WINDOWED MODE IF IT WORKS SET THE FULL SCREEN SINC TO ON AND TURN OFF WINDOW WHILE CONNECTING. IT SOLVED MY ISSUE. THANKS ALL
