I'll set up a new driver and see how it goes
But you don't need to set up a new driver, you need to register using details different from anything you've used before. After a bit more testing it seems that when registering you don't need to enter anything other than a user name, not even a password. Try that Laurie - on the registration screen (which should look like the one below) type a new user name in, leave all the other fields blank, then hit the big arrow at the bottom right of the screen. You should get a registration successful message. At the Log-In screen type in your new user name if it's not already displayed, leave the password field blank and hit the arrow button again to log in.

SUCCESS at last I really don't know if my action had anything to do with finally being able to register but this morning I disconnected the NETGEAR router and reconnected my Speedtouch modem. Started GTL, went to multiplayer and registered my normal driver but with a different E-Mail address. Clicked 'register' and it did it immediately. Went to the lobby but didn't try joining a race- will do that later. Thanks Phill and everyone else who offered advice. Does any of our computer experts have an explaination re disconnecting the router or is it mere coincidence. Again thanks for all the help - see you at Long Beach very relieved Laurie

Oohh modems I'd imagine that the router was blocking it and now you have a direct route to your PC. I'd be careful with that tho'! I wonder if its all to do with router setups, why some people cant/ can connect? You should still be able to connect using the current method Goldtop. It shouldn't have anything to do with the driver profile as that only details stats on the track, your still using the same settings regardless of player profiles. I had hoped that with a semi working lobby that it might have then let me in to the server but it still didnt like using the current method. Seems they are seperate so can people please try out connecting to the 'new' lobby?

http://www.nogripracing.com/forum/showthread.php?p=868779#post868779Looks like the fix we need nice and simple, just a tex document with gtl-lobby.bierbuden.de in it, pop it into your GTL folder ( don't forget to take the old one out) start your game as normal, use multiplayer / internet, register a new account and your in the lobby So if it all looks good can the server starter types try it out some time Cheers Ade I'm confused. Where do I find the tex file that I need to take out? Also does this new file just go straight into the main GTL folder?

GT just put it in your GTL folder, i think the new text file will over write the old one anyway ( if you used the text file fix to connect before and not the antideco patch).
Its just another Text file called LOCAL_IP_LOBBY with the new Bierbude lobby address/name gtl-lobby.bierbuden.de.

OK I've put the tex file into my folder, started the game, registered under a new name and password, logged in under that new name/password and can see the events in the lobby.
Is our server supposed to be there, because I can't see it?

Although I am even more confused now I felt I should let you know:
As I mentioned before I have three separate versions of GTL loaded. Having managed to fix the SROU and GBGTL versions this morning when connected to my old Modem I decided to reconnect the Router and try the 'Add-on' Cars version. I first got rid of all my original drivers and created a new one. Went to multiplayer and registered the new driver AND it bloody well worked. I will not even attempt to understand what has been happening but felt it may make sense to or help the comp experts among us.
Still relieved and delighted but totally out of my depth
Laurie

Need more people to test & confirm it's working or problems We need to 'install' it on the server before then - so far we've only tried it to do the authentication before joining direct.

I used Dave's installer and it worked fine. Re-registered with existing name (leaving everything else blank) and was soon at the lobby.
