GPL not working on LAN?

I'm trying to set up a cable modem here, and during the process had to remove and re-install network settings/hardware (BTW, I'm using win98se). The cable modem is not yet working (problems with the cable comapany) so should not be interfering with GPL? However, now GPL will not recognise my LAN. (Previously it worked fine). The LAN network is working ok, and network neighbourhood reports no probs, and I can transfer files ok between pc's ok. I've got IPX, and TCP/IP and Netbeui enabled, but all GPL gives me via the multi player screen is one of the Serial ports (which has my old analogue modem connected) or nothing at all! Is there any settings in Core.ini or similar that I may need to tweak? or has anyone got any other ideas why GPL fails to see the network? *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~peterpc/home.html

Hi Peter. I don't have an answer, as I'm still a bit behind you. I'm a few days away from getting my home lan set up, and I'm currently struggling with trying to host behind my new nat router(D-Link DL704). The only thing I can suggest is a few places to do some reading. The VROC sites "server" section: http://didnt.doit.wisc.edu/vroc/ Alison Hines site in the "GPL Hardware FAQ" section has lots of advice: http://eaglewoman.simracing.dk/gpl/ -- Don Scurlock Vancouver,B.C. GPLRank -15.85 MonsterRank 90.40 Come see how you rank, at the GPLRank site http://newgplrank.schuerkamp.de/

I had the same problem...assigning fixed IPs for each computer instead of using DHCP fixed it. <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9ur0ol$ao2$[email hidden]...

Also, found that I had to have ip addrs of 192.168.0.n on home lan to get GPL talking, even if all other apps are ok. Stan
