I'm checking with someone who runs N3, GPL, DTR, SCGT on a remote server for what he uses... Jason.

Hi Martin, WinVROC has a remote admin capability. Now if this is for your local LAN only, I'm not sure if it will work. (http://www.vroc.net) This will work ... I setup my P200 as the YouBeTheBoss server -- not using WinVROC but changing the core.ini files to inform VROC when a race is up. People login using the boss password "/boss" and it works :-) Try joining the YouBeTheBoss server via TCP/IP using the password "/boss" and see for yourself how it works. Just don't shutdown the machine because all the boss commands work ;-) Goto http://www.proracingclub.com choose the Grand Prix Legends graphic. Then choose the YouBeTheBoss link. There you will find the TCP/IP address and details. Contact me using the Webmaster link on the left frame if you want my core.ini file. Jason. Martin Granberg wrote:

Hi, I'm trying to run a GPL server on an old computer. The computer will not have a monitor, mouse or keyboard so I need to be able to administer it with some kind of remote admin program. I've tried installing PC-Duo client but as soon as I run GPL it returns to the desktop. My guess is that PC-Duo overrides the video driver in a way that GPL doesn't like. If I deactivate PC-Duo everything is fine again. My question is if anyone successfully has got GPL to run with a remote admin program such as PC-Duo/PCAnywhere etc? If so, which program? Cheers, /Martin

Martin... on my servers for N3... I use a program called Remote Administrator. It is inexpensive (25.00) and is very simple to operate. Bill / Amish on Team Brickyard "Martin Granberg" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

AT&T's UK research labs distributes a free remote control utility called VNC. You may want to download it and give it a shot. FWIW - I tried remotly administering a GPL server with PCAnywhere 8 back in the v1.1 days of GPL. PCAnywhere didn't like it. Any time I started GPL, I just got a black screen in PCAnywhere. Nothing ever froze, PCA just would not display GPL. The same behavior occured when I tried both the OpenGL and software rendering modes. My guess is that PCA8 did not like displaying something in DirectDraw or Direct3D. Anyway, give VNC a shot, it's free after all. http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/index.html -- | "Instead of letting the moon be the Bill Mette | gateway to our future, we have let Enteract, Chicago | it become a brief chapter in our [email hidden] | history." - Andrew Chaikin

Thanks, I'll give this VNC a try! /Martin In article <[email hidden]>, Jason Monds <[email hidden]> wrote:

I've run PCAnywhere - Version 8, I believe(it was a while ago). It worked, but slow. One thing you have to do is make sure your video drivers are up to date. I've seen the remote control programs have issues with that... I've been told about a program called VNC - Virtual Network Connection. I haven't tried it yet, so I can't really comment on that. But, the person who recommended it says it works great... Eldred -- Tiger Stadium R.I.P. 1912-1999 Own Grand Prix Legends? Goto http://gpl.gamestats.com/vroc Never argue with an idiot.
