Multiplayer / Join specific host

This option helps you to join a specific server, for example a team or racing series server, without having to browse the serverlist before. Everytime you click on Join specific host, the last server you raced on will be preset. This makes it possible to rejoin a server that you have been disconnected from within a few seconds. LFS remembers the last used server even after you restart the program (or your computer).

Join host on: Here you can choose if the server is for a LAN or an Internet session. The LAN option allows up to 3 players racing each other while using the same LFS username. This makes it possible to arrange small LAN parties even if not all players have bought Live for Speed. Within the demo mode, the LAN option also can be choosen when the IP of the server is known and you do not want LFS to connect to the master server. The option 'Internet' will make LFS automatically connect to the master server. This way, entering the server's name is enough information to establish a connection but a single user name can only be online once.

Host name: Entering the servers name will connect you directly with the server. Capitalisation and colours are ignored.

Host password: Some servers are not opened to the public as they serve specific purposes like team practice or racing series events. These servers are usually protected by a password which you can enter here. Many servers, even public ones, have set up an admin password. If you enter this admin password, you will be allowed to change certain server-settings by using specific chat-commands (see key-commands). Capitalisation is generally ignored but colours have to match.

Host IP address: After choosing LAN as server type, you can enter the servers IP address here.

Host port: The default server port is 63392 and usually does not need to be changed. If, for some reason, the server does not use the default port, you can specify the correct port here.
