You don't choose "modem" for VROC... use TCP/IP instead. If GPL still
can't connect, you might need to use the "alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1"
line in your core.ini, but it should just work via TCP/IP.

First thing to do is open the Control Panel -> Internet and under
Connection uncheck the box "Connect to the Internet as needed".  I
believe that if this is checked, GPL will attempt to make a DUN
connection when it starts multi-player mode.

Next you need a core.ini file in your GPL folder (see the readme.txt
file for GPL) with the following 2 lines:

[Communications]
alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1

You now will want to use TCP/IP for you connection options in GPL for
racing on the Internet.
