Problems w\ GPL

by Will_ » Sun, 28 Feb 1999 04:00:00

I have a problem with GPL when online. I have tried to race on VROC with out
any success. I always get a server time out, and if I decide to surf after
trying to race on VROC I can't go anywhere and I can't even check my email
either. This also happens when I race GPL offline but with my internet
connection and email running in the background, just minimized. Anyone have
any tips? Thanks in advance,

I have experienced similar problems after running GPL online of not
being able to telnet into my ISP.  Though this is not a common occurence
on my machine.   When you try VROC, are you shutting down other Internet
programs (except Netscape of course)?  Just a hunch, but maybe other
programs are sucking TCP/IP cycles from GPL.

Also have you properly setup your DUN, TCP/IP settings for your ISP?  Is
your TCP/IP settings in your Network setup properly?  Sometimes things
like having WINS resolution enabled when it isn't needed could cause
problems like this.

There sounds like there maybe somethings not properly configured when it
comes down to network, DUN, TCP/IP.  

One other thing, are you using the core.ini file suggested for use with
VROC?
