How close to the router are you with that wireless? If you aren't getting a Strong / Good connection, I'd say you are gaining abit of 'ping' in your internet and i would consider getting a LAN cable, and joining your PC and the router together..

You didnt mention the ping in your speedtest.net result. Do it again and get eh direct image result from

Direct Link http://www.speedtest.net/result/288616769.png >>COPY <<

This part on the result screen..

But if you can't even ping the server... something is definately wrong.

What about trying to ping the master server of LFS ? liveforspeed.net [213.40.20.2]

Everything seems great, pings, etc. I don't think your ISP is your problem, I think my best guess now is a firewall is blocking LFS and CLC. Do you know what you use for a firewall? if it is just windows firewall try this...

Go to control panel/Windowsfirewall(Securtity center, or something like that sorry don't use XP hope you cna find the firewall.)

Now there are two things to do here, first add a program to the exception list with the firewall, once again don't have XP anymore but I believe it is just a button like add program, under exceptions.

Find your LFS.exe, (most likely either in your documents or on the c drive/ program files.)

Once you do that I recommend also adding these ports as exceptions: (once again should be a button like add port, or something.)

63392 UDP
63392 TCP
29332 TCP
29332 UDP

Now this would be for the windows firewall you may use another firewall or even use two firewalls, try to find this out.

Another thing you say you think you have problems with other server, have your tried connecting ot others to make sure? This most likely won't work but is a good step to try.

One more thing along with what firewall, what virus protection are you using? (just asking because some have built in firewalls as well.)

To summarize: Add exceptions to firewalls, and answer what firewalls/ anti virus you have.

Well I really thought we would have solved this case by now, hopefully this step will be the answer. :wink:

I tried adding those exeptions, still no different, appart from now it says "No reply: 15".. :?
And i use NOD32 antivirus program. I think i only have this Windows firewall, maybe should get something new? :wink:
I can't find those servers, i don't see them in the list.. so i dunno wich servers it is :(
Im getting desperate, been away from CLC for soooooo long now! :cry:

Thanks for helping me

Delete all firewalls/anti virus, unless you go on dodge web pages like porn, torrents, etc you shouldn't get a virus + they slow your computer down and make complications... I don't use any and i've never had a problem :P

Well I would never delete anti viruses, cause you actually don't need ot go on a website to get one. I would however, try disabling the firewall and try, if it doens't let you connect to a server, then enable it again.

Disabling it should be in the control panel as well.

Wow I misread something a long the way in response to JJ, I noticed at first you said your pings timed out, then later uploaded your ping results. So you can't ping 81.19.209.181? Wow that is not good at all, something must be wrong. Yet you could ping google.ca, and such fine? Well What I would try now try some more locations from speedtest.net, try speeds in the US server, try one i australia, UK, etc. Can you get the test to work all over?

Also maybe try pinging a few more sites maybe try

ping website -n 20 (pick any website you just need to use google.ca no http or www.) Try a few see if you can connect to them here are a few of the sites I used.

nhl.com
xbox.com
guildwars.com
bbc.co.uk
any others will work.

if you can connect to these and not the server I have no idea what to tell you.

Is lfs the only internet problem you have or do you find certain websites dont work? play any other games?

EDIT!: Also try ping the master host server for lfs to see, ip is 213.40.20.2?
also you can try typing this which is also the master server ping master.liveforspeed.net?

Seems good in the UK.. Image
Kinda high MS in the US Image

Australia, high MS Image

South Afrika :lol: Image

Well, CLC is from UK, right?

And about the pinging stuffs, when I tried to ping CLC but it just timed out.. Those ping results i uploaded is from the LFS master server.

Hmm, thats weird, when i pinged xbox.com it said it timed out too.. but i can join the site via Firefox :?
All the other servers i tried works including master server..

Time to give up CLC? :cry:
