I have been trying to join a multiplayer game with my friend.
I am trying to do this through IP, and have had no success. My friend tells
me there should be an "IP Connection" in the box with connection types in
it, but I do not have this option.
I am running an external USB 512k connection.
my friend is on dial up.
any ideas?
Thanks
You need to set the "find IP address another way" switch in your core.ini (a
file in your GPL directory).
Make sure you configure windows to show extentions in explorer when you open
it otherwise you might end up updating the wrong file (there's also one
named core.ini.sample which does nothing).
Also, I would seriously suggest you host the race once you get things going.

VROC is at http://www.vroc.net
If you have problems, ask in the vroc chat window once it's running. You
can even set up your own chat room for you two to chat about the race.

alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 ; Find IP addresses another way
