Any idea what kind of hardware is involved in his case? My gaming machine lives behind a Gentoo Linux NAT gateway.

Hi folks, I think I solved my GTR online "twitchiness" by adding the ports needed to host gtr races to my Linux firewall ruleset. I have no idea why this should be necessary, but for now the twitchiness seems seems to be gone completely. Thanks again to all who tried to help, esp. Andi Wilke for letting me know the problem was *not* related to running win98se ;-) All the best & see you on the track, uwe -- mail replies to Uwe at schuerkamp dot de ( yahoo address is spambox) Uwe Schuerkamp //////////////////////////// http://www.schuerkamp.de/ Herford, Germany \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ (52.0N/8.5E) GPG Fingerprint: 2E 13 20 22 9A 3F 63 7F 67 6F E9 B1 A8 36 A4 61 |

It seems everytime I mess with my router, I just end up loosing the net connection. Someday I'm gonna have to actually learn all that stuff.. dh |

Maybe he could first turn it off and give it a try. I haven't verified the "solution" yet by removing the rules again, but I'll give it a go tonight.

If you open up the correct port for LFS (and tell LFS you did so) the packets will be sendt directly to you instead of being relayed by the server. This will off course reduce lag but it requires a decent upstream as you will be sending identical packets to all the other cars instead of just one to the server. Maybe GTR took it one step further and tried to autodetect weither you was behind a firewall or not? Just a wild guess.... There are 3 modes in LFS: 1. I'm behind a firewall and my upstream is slow so I will only send to the server. 2 I'm behind a firewall but I will send to all other cars. 3 I can receive from all other cars and will send to all other cars. All drivers should be at 3 for the best racing experiance. I don't know if other racing sims do this, but it sounds like a brilliant idea to me.
