GPL # seems to decrease...

After the publication of N4 the number of GPL postings seems to have decreased dramatically... I kind of understand that, and I kind of do not understand that... Even when I can take part to on-line N4, and my ZoneAlarmed PC doesn't seem to allow me any GPL races - I have been able to qualify in GPL (not well... :-) , but at least when I have clicked to the starting grid, my PC has jammed - my racing love is GPL... Is there any hope the clever gang will make a path to that?? Some "unofficial" patch? In the style of N4? Dear Papy gang, please! Arto

Can't you simply turn ZoneAlarm off? Andre

Get rid of the silly firewall. Why the heck do you need it anyway? http://grc.com has directions for eliminating just about all common intrusion methods in the shieldsup area. rms [email hidden]

I can run GPL with ZAPro without any Problems. You just need to open the used GPL ports. Joachim

You'd be surprised how often people try to get access to your machine. I often look over my ZoneAlarm logs & I see many attempts by others to either FTP or Telnet into it. Especially if one has a static IP, only a fool would have their machine on without one. -- Fester

But then a firewall doesn't have much use anymore I think? Isn't this the same as putting a lock on your door and leaving the window wide open? Andre

No. You only open specific ports (eg. 6969) for specific protocols (UDP) for specific applications. A better simili would be lending a neighbor the key to your shed. The only really secure system is locked away somewhere (in an abandoned salt mine?) and turned off. And doesn't have a harddisk. ;-) /Jens

modify your core.ini in order to run GPL in a window. then start a multiplayer session and when zone alarm's pop-up windows appears check the box "allow always" or something like that. now you are ok, you can run again GPL in full screen mode and it won't freeze anymore. geps Driving per gli appassionati di Grand Prix Legends http://www.multiplayer.it/driving Campionato Italiano GPL ed. 2001 http://www.racesim.net/CIGPL/

But: I have been able to tell GPL this "allow always", I have been able to take part to the practice, and even chat after that. GPL freezes, when I try to get again to the track... Once I have even been sitting on the starting grid... I just cannot understand, why GPL partly manages to deal with ZA, and partly does not... Arto

It depends on the system. Before I installed a Voodoo2 in my computer, my TNT2 running OpenGL (pre d3d) worked all day long with ZoneAlarm. When the Voodoo2 went in it stopped working and has not worked since (even after the Voodoo2 and the TNT2 were replaced!). It locks up when you try to exit the track. Sometimes before, but always when you try top leave the track. I have since deleted ZoneAlarm and installed a Linksys Cable/DSL Router. I would suggest getting a different firewall or remembering to turn of ZoneAlarm when racing on Vroc (not as easy to do I always forgot and well . . . ) SLG [email hidden] (Arto Wikla) wrote:
