Is there a way to get my cable modem listed as "connect via" option in
GPL, so that I can host and join.
Thanks in advance,
Peter

alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1
net_mdm_client_send_every = 3 ; 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
You need the new line alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1, for GPL to recognize
your cable modem !!!!

See GPL's readme.txt file under the heading "TCP/IP ISSUES". Your cable
modem is probably assigned a dynamic IP address. Basically, you need to
add the following two lines to a file named core.ini in GPL's home
directory.

alternate_ip_addr_lookup=1
For a list of specific IP/packet forwarding rules, go here:

Caveat - this allows me to host races on my side of the firewall, but I
cannot join races. Also, if you're not the sysadmin (or are good buds
with him/her) for your employer's network, you'll probably play hell
getting that individual to change/implement the necessary NAT/masq rules
that are required.

That would be fine. I used to set up an unattended race with a LONG practice
time. That gave me time to get home and connect from there.<g>
