In multi-player mode, at "connect via", GPL doesn't recognise my cable modem
; It only offers serial com 1 and 2 has choices.  How can I configure
properly in order to join online races ?

Many thanks in advance.

You'll need to add the following line to the Communications section of
your core.ini file in GPL:

alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1

If you don't already have a core.ini file in your c:\sierra\gpl
directory, create a text file in there, name it core.ini and put the
following lines in it:

[ Communications ]
alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1
net_mdm_client_send_every = 3
net_mdm_client_send_size = 84
net_mdm_server_send_every = 3
net_mdm_server_send_size = 84

Good luck,

Not sure if this is required, but for my cable modem connection, I also have
the following lines in core.ini:

net_lan_client_send_every = 3                   ; Client packet freq on LAN
net_lan_client_send_size = 84                   ; Client packet size on LAN
net_lan_server_send_every = 3                   ; Server packet freq on LAN
net_lan_server_send_size = 84                   ; Server packet size on LAN

I thought I had read somewhere that the above parameters are used for cable
modems.  Does anyone know for sure?

This isn't necessary.  By default, we use the "net_mdm_*_send_*"
settings for TCP/IP, regardless of the type of connection.  You can
override this if you want, but would generally only do so if you are
running exclusively on a LAN, and IPX is not available to you on the
LAN.  If this is your situation, you can add this setting to
core.ini...

[ Communications ]
net_use_mdm_bandwidth_for_tcp_ip = 0

(the default value for the setting is 1).  Do NOT override this setting
unless you really need it.  If you do, you won't able to host or join
Internet races.
