rFactor server.

Update: After a torrid week connection wise Virgin have decided to sent me a new modem. I've been suffering random disconnections from the internet that a brand new router, network card and hours of hair tearing have failed to resolve. Hopefully a new modem will be the answer. :g:

I've started the process for getting an HistoriX server running on one of the dMw servers. We can't get the ports opened until tomorrow but I hope to have it up and running before too long.

Good luck.

Yep, good luck indeed. :g:

Said modem arrived this morning and it sits here winking and smiling as modems should. Very unlike the other surly git! And no, it makes no difference to my server.:angry: POS

Have you tried changing ports in .plr file, or maybe opening them on the router?

I know you probably did this but i had to ask :narnar:

I'm game for anything. Which ports do you suggest? Do you mean these lines?:

Query Port Start="34297" // range is 1025 - 65535
Port Start="34397" // range is 1025 - 65535

If you do, they're in Multiplayer.ini these days.

Yeah thats it

Well, you could try to go into your router config interface, and look for list where you define ports and applications, something like that, and create appropriate entry there... Sry for the unclear post, i'm in big hurry...

Doorman · June 17, 2009, 01:09:46 PM

Ah right, I'll do that! :blink:

these are the ports you need to open in your router:

Works like a charm

How odd, they're the same bloody ports I've been using since day one! :angry:
Sorry Dave but you've no idea how many times I've been told the ports. I mow recite them to myself to get me off to sleep!

EDIT: That was the last straw. I'm reinstalling Windows. We'll see if a 'start from scratch' approach helps.

are you running Vista?
I had problems with Vista....XP works great and Win7 is even better.

Deetz · June 17, 2009, 08:43:52 PM

I'm sorry to hear about these problems. Best of luck finding a solution.

:sad:

Doorman · June 17, 2009, 09:17:49 PM

Vista? pfft! XP SP3
