I tried joining a race via VROC but I did not see the green box to enter
the track from the multiplayer screen in GPL. I saw the Host IP address
and clicked on it but there was no way to enter the tracks from
multiplayer. Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rick

Bizarre.
Here are some wild guesses that maybe way off beam.
Check is that you have updated your details in VROC setup as this info is no
longer being remembered from one session to the next. If I don't do this GPL
says I'm M. Driver and gives me someone else's IP address.
Another problem might be that either you or the host are behind a firewall
or proxy that is blocking your attempts to communicate. Try another host.
The hosts session is still marked as "Starting" in VROC (they may not have
updated their details) and you have clicked where the [Join] text should be.

I'm listing the entire process I go through just so you can check that
everything is running as it should prior to the failure of the green
button/flag appearing.
1. Check that your name and details are displayed in the VROC room and are
what you entered in the VROC setup.
2. Click [Join] on a race in VROC.
3. The status bar in VROC says "Querying status on host"
4. Then it says "Starting gpl.exe" (or "xxx's race is no longer available")
5. Then GPL starts up
6. Select Multiplayer and click the green button/flag.
7. Select the Join check box.
8. Click on the hosts name which should be displayed in the address book.
9. It will now highlight in red and the host's IP address will come up on
the left hand side of the screen.
10. Click the green button/flag (this would appear to be the bit that is not
working for you).
11. A transparent window will then appear with messages that will hopefully
be successes and take you into the host's chosen track screen
Cheers,
Paul

I noticed this too - its recent. I thought I had done something wrong
(like disable cookies - which I haven't) or something else
