    I added an exception in firewall for that, but still it does that.

    Are there any setting in filers or anywhere needed to be done ?

    Any chance you pressed LOCAL CONNECTION button, down left?
    If you did, uncheck it.

    A proxy or proxy server is basically another computer which serves as a hub through which internet requests are processed. Usually it's something setup at a workplace, so if you are at home I doubt you have it.

    Sorry mate, I cannot figure out what the problem could be from here.

    I suppose you have checked your internet connection...and pressed refresh button on servers screen...

    there are lots of people around here that know much about it, but since you dont get responses, why not contact ISI stuff at ContactUs button, on the black ribbon, at the bottom of this page?
    They are very helpfull and respond quickly.

    Run C PORTS in the background and start rFactor2.
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html

    Have a look in the list for rFactor2 entries and what it is telling you.


    Also try making a room ( click HOST ) ....... don't worry about room settings anything will do

    See if Match Maker status ( in dedicated server menu) says: "Server updating successfully" and what it says in C PORTS ( do a screenshot of C Ports )

    Hello Kimi450 & DurgeDriven:
    I read your posts with interest and followed up on DD's post. Kimi450 you need to download currports and run the program. Here is a link for the homepage where you can get the program.

    http://www.nirsoft.net/

    Durge, this is where I stop. You clearly are the expert on the rest of the information.
    Kimi450, I hope this helps.

    Best Regards,
    Randy

    Did you add the exception for "Launch rFactor.exe" or "rFactor2.exe" in your firewall settings?
