I'm completely hooked on GPL and the VROC site is great. But I can't
seem to get hosting to work. Joining a multiplayer game is no problem,
but for some reason when I try to host, nobody has ever got connected to
my machine.
I have a p2-333(overclocked to 360), ADSL with a constant IP address,
and a Voodoo2 card. Netscape 4.5, windows 98, GPL full install.
What am i overlooking , any ideas?

Hope that helps,

Ps I've seen this a lot recently.

I don't know if this really applies to your situation, since you have a
static IP address, but it's worth a try. Try adding the following to
your core.ini file in your GPL directory:
[Communications]
alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1
It would appear that VROC is launching your GPL session, but is not
getting the correct IP address for some reason.

If you're running a server through a Linux gateway, VROC sees your
internal IP, and NOT the one that is needed for users to connect to your
server. I had to fill in the IP override field in the VROC setup.
