rec.autos.simulators

All single players PC are Win98 using VooDoo video Cards, Microsoft
SideWinder Wheels and different Intel CPU (Pentium II 400, Celeron 500, etc.)
and all computers are hooked to a 10 BaseT concentrator. Using TCP/IP
protocol with fixed IP (Non DHCP server). Also we have 24 hours access to
Internet via ADSL (Cisco 670). This is our working LAN in labor hours.

All local clients connect to the server without VROC. But use same Core.ini
files.

When we star a GPL multiplayer session (dedicated sever, external server or
non dedicated server. Started with VROC or Core.ini/Server.ini) the server
drops the 4th client. Some times up to six players can join in the practice
laps but at the grid some players are dropped, other can't start when the
green flag downs and only three players/client can run the race. No matter if
dropped players are local (LAN) players or Internet players. In fact four
local players can't race at same time ever

We use the following core.ini parameters at the server (for a dedicated
server):

fullScreen = 0  ; (Never worked) we get full screen all the time.
synch_method = 1 auto_export_standings = 1 auto_save_replay = 0 dedicated = 1
launch = 0 max_latency = 0.0 max_car_class = 0 min_car_class = 2 password =
repeat = 0 disable_modem = 1 alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 0
ip_addr_lookup_timeout = 2 disable_network = 0 disable_tcp_ip = 0 disable_ipx
= 1 ignore_net_read_errors = 1 ignore_net_send_errors = 1
log_server_comm_errors = 0 log_server_connect_status = 0 net_server_port =
32766

net_mdm_client_send_every = 3
net_mdm_client_send_size = 84
net_mdm_server_send_every = 3
net_mdm_server_send_size = 84
net_lan_client_send_every = 3
net_lan_client_send_size = 84
net_lan_server_send_every = 3
net_lan_server_send_size = 84
net_use_mdm_bandwidth_for_tcp_ip = 0
clock_adj_delay = 8

bcast_listserv = vroc.ods.org
bcast_port = 6970

bcast_send_freq = 30
bcast_augment_status = 0
bcast_send_disable = 0
bcast_ping_port = 6971
bcast_ping_disable = 0

bcast_recv_disable = 0

Please help us to fix our server configuration, so we (five local clients)
can play and also offer our server to the Internet.

Thank you very much.

Before you buy.

% We use the following core.ini parameters at the server (for a dedicated
% server):

 ???????  did the "newlines" get lost when you posted this section of
your core.ini?  If not each of the following needs to be on a seperate
line.

% fullScreen = 0        ; (Never worked) we get full screen all the time.
% synch_method = 1 auto_export_standings = 1 auto_save_replay = 0 dedicated = 1
% launch = 0 max_latency = 0.0 max_car_class = 0 min_car_class = 2 password =
% repeat = 0 disable_modem = 1 alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 0
% ip_addr_lookup_timeout = 2 disable_network = 0 disable_tcp_ip = 0 disable_ipx
% = 1 ignore_net_read_errors = 1 ignore_net_send_errors = 1
% log_server_comm_errors = 0 log_server_connect_status = 0 net_server_port =
% 32766

% clock_adj_delay = 8

try using "4" for the above.....
