sticks there constantly. have to ctrl, alt, dlt, and shit the program down. lfs.exe instance still stays on.

It sounds like you have a firewall blocking traffic to the Master Server. Disable it and try again.

Yep, sounds like you havent given LFS access rights with your firewall, this will cause LFS to lock up as it can't do anything.

Configure your firewall to let lfs.exe send/recieve connection's and it should work fine. :thumbsup:

i don't particularly like taking away any of my firewalls. every other game works fine with them on. why should lfs be any different?
if anyone knows how to configure or change any settings for :-

Norton Internet Security 2005 - Built in Firewall
Blackice 2005 Firewall
Linksys Router with integrated Firewall.
Firewall Dongle Icewire Pro 1394

I would be much appreciated. Ta, Rich

Just disable them temporarily.

bloody hell. how many firewalls do you want??? thats probably your isue, too many firewalls :P

if your behind NAT then just stay with the one on the router

[rich_hard]
