Can anyone tell me whI cant connect with spyboy after my cable modem was
installed?
net_mdm_client_send_every = 2 ; Client packet freq on dialup
net_mdm_client_send_size = 84 ; Client packet size on dialup
net_mdm_server_send_every = 3 ; Server packet freq on dialup
net_mdm_server_send_size = 84 ; Server packet size on dialup
alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1
The last line is the one that will have it search for your cable modem's
address. At least this worked for me. Without this line my only choices to
connect were serial port lines. With the line "alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1"
added to core.ini, magically the cable modem address appeared as a choice.

net_mdm_client_send_every = 2 is wrong for VROC races, should be 3

I was using these parameters for core-server.ini because of the following
text I read. Is this wrong? I was using this because of what it said about
cable modems. Please tell me if this was a mistake and I will change to the
original core.ini. I have had no problems joining or hosting online races
with these settings, but I don't want to give someone else on a cable modem
incorrect advice. The following is what I based those settings on.
"Other core.ini variants
-----------------------
core-server.ini has smaller bandwidth on the server send side, but normal
bandwidth
on the client send side. This may be useful for users hosting races over a
cable
modem. I believe it will work even if only the server uses this file, and
all clients
use no core.ini file, or do not reduce their bandwidth in their core.ini.
core-client.ini has smaller bandwidth on the client send side, but normal
bandwidth
on the server send side. This should work when used on a client connecting
with a
server who is not reducing bandwidth in core.ini, and might help more
clients to
connect."
I downloaded these alternative core.ini files directly from the VROC site in
a file called core.zip. Please respond if I should not use these downloaded
files.

Hey Zub,
The settings you're using aren't wrong, but the client and host should
use the same settings. Since the "standard" VROC setting is 3/84 3/84,
it is wise to use them as well.
