I got lots of problems.

New install this morning.

1.  ISI_BABYFACTOR isn't working.
2.  When I connect to the RASCAR server, it disconnects me.

And finally...

It kept telling me my trainer was incompatible when joining races.  So, I
thought I'd sell the current one, and buy another.  BIG MISTAKE!

When I sold the default car it only gave me like $1200.  Buying another
costs $18,000 :)

Now I have NO car, no BabyFactor to get money to buy another one, etc...

Totally hosed.

Ok, I fixed it.

Just intered the babyfactor many times, and it finally worked.  sheesh.

As for the car problem, I just deleted the current profile and re-created a
new one.  Had to re-do all the settings, but I won't do that again :)

Now, if only MP worked.

ITs probably your firewall preventing MP from working. My wont pick up
any servers if my firewall is on (windows xp firewall)
And i agree, MP on RFactor is a hassle. Everyone has faster cars than
you. Just not smooth like n2003 is.

    Firstly, it's ISI_BABYFACTORY not ISI_BABYFACTOR

    Your problem is probably that you have not upgraded the trainer and that
server is only allowing upgraded trainers.

XP Firewall.  Ugh.  I think rFactor MP is pretty smooth, at least it always
has been for me.  I agree on the cars, however.  I never liked the idea of
upgrading, and you never know what different people have for upgrades.  If
you stick to the trainers (which has but one performance upgrade), you're
pretty safe.  F3 is also pretty safe.  Individual servers can restrict cars
but there's no way to restrict upgrades.

I like the way GTL is.  With the Dedicated Server, you can say which cars
exactly can participate, and since there are no upgrades to the individual
cars, everyone is on an even plane.  It's all driving and set up, as it
should be.

Since GTL, rFactor is getting absolutely no playing time for me.  I'm
strictly GTL.  MP is fine and I enjoy the career mode.  I still can't
understand why anyone would just allow all the cars in a GTL MP race.
Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

No, it was actually that everyone was running F3 Mods and I didn't notice it
:)

All is ok now.

I must have added a Y once by mistake LOL!  I finally got my money after
entering it many times.

As for the connection, it was because everyone is running the F3 mod, and I
hadn't noticed or installed it.
