Yes, I am running Zonealarm for my firewall. I switched off zonealarm
and was able to join a race online, go back to the pits, rejoin the
race - no problems.
I guess I have to go and buy a firewall now (zonealarm is free).
Thank you!

Before you buy.
I have not seen this particular lockup in any of the discussions:
I can join a race on VROC with no problem, but if I hit esc/enter to go
back to the pits, my computer locks up with a black screen and a
continuous GPL car sound from the speakers. The only way to get out of
this is to hit the computer off switch.
The same problem happens if I get to the end of practice. At the
transition to the race, my computer locks up.
I have similar problems when I try to race directly with a friend over
the Web without using VROC.
I have reduced video detail to get a solid 36fps online.
I have no problems with GPL when not racing online.
I have a 500 Meg PIII, NVidia TNT2 16Mb, Soundblaster Live Value, 128Mb
RAM, DSL connection (DHCP).
GPL 1.2 with Disco fix, WINVROC with fix, ACT Labs Force RS wheel
with RS Shifter running 5 speed patch with VROC patch.
Can any one help?
Thank you.

I had the exact same problem,. traced it to my usage of the firewall
software ZoneAlarm. May also be a problem with other firewall
progs.
Even thoough I gave WinVROC & GPL full access it still failed,
now I switch off ZoneAlarm when on VROC. Providing you don't
have NETBIOS loaded and any shares active, you should be
OK.

Does this only happen with 3dfx and ZoneAlarm? I used
to have a Voodoo2 and it has since been removed and it is still
causing me troubles.
So, what I am asking is, "is this problem with GPL, VROC, and
ZoneAlarm only happening with GPL computers that are using/used a 3dfx
adapter?"

Epilogue:
I downloaded the free Sybase firewall from
http://www.sybergen.com/products/shield_ov.htm and it works fine with
GPL/VROC.
