Hi, I just did a quick forum search and found the following that you might find useful...

Quote from MaKaKaZo :

That is because you are connecting it to your local LFS instance, instead of connecting directly to the server. The application is server oriented, so the correct way is to connect it to the LFS dedicated server using its IP and insim port (which must be open, of course). It's intended to be kept running in the server all the time, and you can turn it on or off whenever you like.

If you connect to a local instance of LFS some things may not work. For example, IS_MTC is a "message to connection" packet, and can only be used if you are directly connected to the host.

You can use IS_MTC on a local host, but only after an IS_ISM as been sent.

[Edit] To make this clear, as I've had at least one question on this post before:
You have to start a host on your client before you can send MTC packets, effectively only after an IS_ISM has been sent.

I've also had that message when I've been changing my LFSLapper config files and testing it on my home pc in local multiplayer host mode, then forgetting to close the program down before going online onto my server.
