Martin -- it sounds like screen saver or power management.... check that no
power management on in control panel --- and no screen saver. Also check in
modem properties that 'disconnect if idle for....' is not ticked (not sure
where it is....
hope that helps ... Dan leach

Hi All
Im getting deperate. Running vroc my modem disconnects at about 3/4 race
distance. About 20 secs before there is some disk activity.
I tried everything (but obvisouly not correctly) and then reformatted.
Thinking thats got it, but no its exactly the same.
Any help much much appreciated.(it used to be fine)
k6-2 550, 128mb, voodoo 3 3000, sb live 1024, ktx modem 33k, gpl1.2, dx7,
1.05 voodoo driver, glass of Jamesons
Cheers Martin

You probably are using it, but didn't mention the disconnect patch
(gpldiscofix.exe) for GPL and Vroc.

You may want to make sure that to uncheck the box under internet
explorer/properties/connection/advanced that says to disconnect after x
minutes. Even though you are connected and racing, windows seems not to
recognise this as a valid connection and disconnects you from the race
server. Not your ISP.
Hopefully this is the problem :)
Bye.

It Worked

Thanks All

No expert in this here, but:
increase your replay-buffer
turn off windows gimmicks like Fastfind,...
use a fixed swap-file in windows.
