My mate cant see the online game when I set one up. He is using one of those wireless cards on a laptop (like wireless everywhere) and when I contacted their tech support they said all ports are open with that type of system by default. I have my ports open on my router for the game but he cannot see my game in the list of online games (I know others can because I've had guys jump in and join when I have set up a game) - Any ideas anyone?

Private server or public server? He has to be sure that the list shows both from the filters. What IP and port settings do you use in LFS? If I remember correctly, that default port shouldn't be modified normally. And be sure to check that you are setting up right type of server (internet/LAN). Also if you have tried with "auto" on the IP field, you can try writing your IP down there manually.

Public game (not dedicated server). I opened 63XXX and 29XXX (cant remember now Im on a different PC) for both TCP/UDP on my router (I think thats what its called)... Have it set to Auto for IP and using an Internet game. If he logs in he cannot see my game in the list. When he searches for me he can find me in my game but then it tells him something like "cannot connect to host".

Did you foward your ports?,...Thats what was wrong with mine?

this may help dunno. but bookmark this if you have a router comes in handy. find your router then the game easy as can be. and liveforspeed server is what you need and your good to go.

I finally sorted it out (with the help of SilverArrows77 - true legend) it was a thing in my router called "demilitarized zone" (DMZ) I had to put my IP address in there and then bingo! It was blocking inbund connections even though ports were open.
