if you want to see what ports the server is using goto the www.sysinternals.com site and download tcpview, telss you which process is listening on
which ports. an essential tool imho

LOL...well I was cracking under the pressure of try to do a lap without visiting the grass/gravel/tyrewalls/barriers etc etc
Like you say, lap times were definitely improving at the end, although we have still a bit to go to catch gergely should be fun trying though
How about we use the chatroom on here b4 joining a game, it's easier to keep up with who is having problems connecting, and getting race details
and stuff sorted?

That was good to test yesterday evening. It turned out my PC isn't powerful enough to host an online race, but when I join a race, I am fine.
This means I will not be able to host the Saturday race either...
But Ecosse was very good with his server. That one was fine! Would you mind hosting the LOCOSTBUILDERS race then Saturday at 20:00? same password:
locost
Thanks!
Gergely
P.S.: I might join the Friday evening practice if there will be one... I can't make it tonight...

Yeh, server is no problem Gergely, bandwidth might be though, but I'll worry about that when/if it happens.
From what I can see I should be able to run about 10 drivers (including myself) at a time.

Good idea. Do you just click on chat and that's it? To be honest I have never used any chat tool...

What sort of connection do you have Ecosse?
Ive got the sky adsl2 thingy which has averages of about 60-70KB upload and spikes ive seen of 100KB+ and ive got a spare server doing nothing so
could potentially host if your having probs.
Im deffo gonna have to get my steering wheel hooked up for more praccy

I've got 4mb down and 384kbps up (cable not adsl so is real  ), which according to the doc should be enough for the max demo users (11)
keeping this at 10 gives a bit of leeway (presuming that many want on at once anyway).
The main issue is latency, which as you will know causes lag, a big no no for online games, and while I have not had any real latency problems on my
cable connection for a while i have also not tried to run this either!
The server requirements are minimal, i'm running it on a low end p4 which barely noticed it.
So after all that rambling rubbish I think the answer would be if you have the kit handy then it would do no hard to have it ready just in case we
have problems

Nobody is online at the momment hosting the game, thats whats wrong. There needs to be a central computer ie the host on whose computer the game is
setup on for others to join.
