Hi, I'm new to this group. I've done my best to read through the 3500 messages that I downloaded to try and find an answer to my problems :-) No joy. I have a cable modem which is connected to a 'gateway' PC, which is then connected (via a hub) to other machines in my house. When I host a race on the gateway machine, I can connect from the machines in my house, but not across the internet. Although it is possible to ping and traceroute the path to my gateway, any attempt to connect results in 'timeout' errors. I can see nothing strange about my game settings or network configuration in the operating system. I just can't figure why it wont connect even though it can 'see' the netcard. Any help would be really appreciated. Mick

It sounds like you may be blocking the ports that GPL needs on the WAN side but you have full access on the LAN side. Dale.
Appearently your gateway is blocking the ports that GPL needs, perhaps you run a firewall on it? See the 1.1 readme in your GPL dir for a description. Bart Westra "Mick Smith" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:DRB87.16674$[email hidden]...
