Running a GPL server on an NT machine

Running a GPL server on an NT machine

Hey there.. I'm interested in setting up a GPL server at work (we have a
56mbit link to the Australian backbone), however, I only currently have
access to NT4.0 machines.  So my question is this - will it work, and if
it will, how do I do it?  I intend to run it on VROC as a dedicated
server, and will freely admit to knowing nothing about how either VROC or
GPL handles things.  Will I need another .ini file somewhere, or will VROC
do all the setup work for me?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

Yes Andrew it'll work. Just install GPL and WinVROC and run them.
http://www.racesimcentral.net/ has all the info you need for setting up a dedicated server.
As a side note...if you plan on running some of the ***ed N2/ICR2 tracks
you'll need to put a 3dfx card into your server. Phoenix and Homestead are
two of the ones that won't run in software mode.
