Neil.. can you look at the server for me?

MASSIVE pings on GTL, and the bloody Dameware thingy is very slow.. I mean takes 5mins (no exaggeration) for the desktop to load.
Maybe something firewall related? But I can still ping it in a command prompt between 30-40ms.



Bastard error message said:
Host: [194.150.201.138]

1.)

Winsock Connect Error:
System Error: 10060
System Message:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.


2.)

A Winsock 10060 error indicates a socket timeout [194.150.201.138]. Some reasons for this error include: remote host not online, routing, firewall/router configuration (blocked ports), etc.. The most common reason for this occurrence is when nothing is listening on the specified port on the Host Computer. For Example, Mini Remote Client Agent not installed or mismatch in port usage (default is TCP 6129).

3.)

Ping returned: IP Success

4.)

Operating System Detection Error (1)[194.150.201.138]:
System Error: 53
System Message:
The network path was not found.


5.)

Unable to determine the Operating System on the remote host. The remote host may not be running a Windows Operating System.

6.)

If an error is related to a name resolution issue, try using IP address instead of host name.

You should be able to do it, there is a shortcut to the results folder on the desktop IIRC..
Otherwise just look in the UserData folder

Two good races for me, 2nd place both times but really close fighting with Andy all the way it was pure coincidence that I had 30 mins play on Hockenheim yesterday morning.

The post race larkabouts in the Renaults were FANTASTIC, I can't believe we were all so close for nearly 10 laps each time (apart from Benaldo who I think must have a turbo in there )

I forgot the 2nd championship race I had no controls tried to pick up the revs and no throttle - damn - exited to pits sorted it and had to sit and watch
At least in the first race when I got taken out on the first corner I could race back through the field. I was overly cautious on the first bend so partly my fault, but cold tyres, over excitement usually means cautious works.
never mind theres always next week!

I lost my connection at the start of the second race cry

Also the track was running really badly, maybe poor pings as I had a quick go offline after and although I got the same fps, the game was smooth confused

Did anyone else have bad pings? The thing is I don't know how to find out what my ping is in the race, I can see everyone elses when on track next to there names. Can you see your own?

Oh well looking forward to next week

...and Wednesday rFactor.

Neil seemed to be a bit laggy too in the first race. It's quite difficult to overtake when someone's pointing sideways but actually driving straight on! (For a while at least, the sideways thing became reality after a couple of laps )

might be worth a check for spyware, other programs online updating, email download etc. but sometimes isp's are just cr*p

I use avg anti virus, spybot & zone alarm firewall (they are all free, though donations are welcomed or better versions can be bought) Zone alarm alerts you to all programmes connecting and you can stop them, or set it to ask first, or if its important like GTL direct access without asking.
