Hello,

i have a really bad problem with lfs. But first my computer configuration:
AMD Opteron 170
Abit KN8 Sli (nforce4-chipset with onboard-lan)
Geforce 8800 GTS 320mb

I think the other components don't really matter
What I also wanna say first is, that I don't have any problem playing other games online (call of duty 4, quake, guildwars, ...), the only game that makes problems is lfs.

The problem is, I connect to a server. The screen keeps black and then it jumps back to the connect-screen with the message "connection the server lost" (or something similar). The second or third time I connect then, I can drive for a few minutes and then I lose the connection again.
Are there any known problems with the nforce4-onboard-lan? I already had some lan-problems which I could solve by updating the drivers. But I just installed the newest drivers and it didn't help

Can anyone help me pls?

Does really nobody know how to solve this problem?

Does your NForce 4 have a built-in firewall on the LAN port? I believe that often caused problems. I'd guess it would be enabled/disabled in the BIOS.

Also are you running any security software? I had problems with LFS on my new computer a couple of months ago which I eventually traced to my security suite interfering with my web traffic and "stealing" packets.

Do you have the nVidia Firewall installed? If so remove it - it's awful and causes a shed-load of issues.

I disabled all security-software. But I'll take a look at the bios, thanks =)

I took a look at the bios and there's no firewall-option. I can just activate and deactive the onboard-lan.
