A GPL server will upload about 1Mbit/sec on a LAN with a full field and default settings, this should be no problem unless there is other traffic on your LAN. So have a look at the server, can it handle the load? First of all, if possible, do not race on the server and run it as a dedicated server, or alternatively park it in the setup screen. Bart Westra

One thing I did not know for awhile is that using the setting in core.ini, TCIP and IPX are 2 very different beasts. When my cousin and I started out a few months ago, we used TC/IP, and he only saw a few cars in front and a couple cars in mirrors. The TC/IP is set up for modems in core. Since switching to IPX for the LAN, wow... oodles of info is crammed through the CAT-5 to 'his' machine. Maybe that helps? MRSisson -- LOAD "GPL",8,1 RUN
