GPL not working on LAN?

by pjgt.. » Sun, 09 Dec 2001 03:11:33

I'm trying to set up a cable modem here, and during the process had to
remove and re-install network settings/hardware (BTW, I'm using
win98se). The cable modem is not yet working (problems with the cable
comapany) so should not be interfering with GPL?

However, now GPL will not recognise my LAN. (Previously it worked fine).

The LAN network is working ok, and network neighbourhood reports no
probs, and I can transfer files ok between pc's ok.

I've got IPX, and TCP/IP and Netbeui enabled, but all GPL gives me via
the multi player screen is one of the Serial ports (which has my old
analogue modem connected) or nothing at all!

Is there any settings in Core.ini or similar that I may need to tweak?
or has anyone got any other ideas why GPL fails to see the network?

Hi Peter. I don't have an answer, as I'm still a bit behind you. I'm a few days
away from getting my home lan set up, and I'm currently struggling with trying
to host behind my new nat router(D-Link DL704). The only thing I can suggest is
a few places to do some reading.

The VROC sites "server" section: http://didnt.doit.wisc.edu/vroc/

Alison Hines site in the "GPL Hardware FAQ" section has lots of advice:

I had the same problem...assigning fixed IPs for each computer instead of
using DHCP
fixed it.

Have u got

[ Communications ]
alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1

in core.ini ? Also, found that I had to have ip addrs of 192.168.0.n on home
lan to get GPL talking, even if all other apps are ok.
