TCP/UDP
Hi all....Can some kind person make out this message below in english and if
possible give me an answer on how I sort it out. It is in response to a problem I am having with on on line racinf simulator called Live for Speed. Thanks in advance Dave ""Please first try this : On that listing screen, at the bottom you see the button with TCP in it. Click that in order to enable it. Then refresh the list of hosts and see if some hosts will appear. If they do, then in all likelyhood your problem is due to your router not passing through UDP packets. In networking there are two main types of network packets, called TCP and UDP. TCP is a very reliable one, but relatively slow. UDP is a fast one, but not 100% reliable. For the list of hosts LFS uses the UDP kind, because with TCP it used to take ages before the list would be loaded. UDP is still reliable enough that it will be able to connect to 99.9% of all hosts at all times. However, for some reason routers sometimes have problems with udp packets. It could be as simple as a router reboot to fix this, or otherwise you may have to go into the admin panel of the router in order to check its settings, or maybe revert to default. But the variety in routers is so large that I'm afraid I cannot really help with that more in depth."" |

The only thing you come up with is "a problem I am having > with on on line racinf simulator called Live for Speed". Please clarify. The problem is that i am unable to connect to any hosts ie live racing teams, it is searching and goes through a number of hosts, at last attempt it was 133, but states unable to join which is something to do with this TCP/UDP ???? > > -- > <snip> > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > |

[...] Live for Speed seems to require 'port forwarding' if you run it behind a router. Their 'wiki' <http://en.lfsmanual.net/wiki/Hosting> links to <http://portforward.com/> for instructions about that for a wide range of routers. If your router and game both support UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play), then enabling that in both might help. -- -- ^^^^^^^^^^ -- Whiskers -- ~~~~~~~~~~ |
