% my cousin just got GPL but is having problems conecting to vroc.
% hes in oklahoma so i cant go over there and see what he sees on his puter.
% but he says his does'nt show tcp/ip as a conection option
Hmmmmm.... Can one access AOL without setting up a DUN? If so, he may
need to create a special Dial-Up Network for accessing AOL. Also, he
may want to try adding the following to his core.ini file:
alternate_ip_address_lookup=1
% he doesent know what to select when he gets to the multi play screen and i
% cant remember what i picked beacause mine worked just fine.
% hes also on AOL(dont laugh)which i think might be a problem.
% i can see him in the open rooms but theres no join button.
% he also has a 28.8 modem if this hurts i dont know.
% anyway if anyone can help id appreciated any help
He may want to experiment with gping:
From the VROC Help section:
You can also perform the gping or gplping test described above. If
gplping does not return a majority of positive responses from a host
which you know is currently hosting a GPL practice session, this tends
to confirm that you have a poor connection to the Internet - or that the
host has a poor connection.
[example gping <IP address of host>]
