WinVROC Question

I tried my hand at VROC way back when there was no SpyBoy or WinVROC, but haven't tried it since. Now I'm interested in giving it a go again, but I'm having problems. I downloaded WinVROC 2.1 and installed the fix. I get a race list, but none of the races allow me to join. In fact the join option is grayed out on all of them. I hope that this isn't too dumb of a question, but I can't find any guidance anywhere on how to join a race. I'm using a 56K dial-up connetion. Can someone shed some light on this for me? I would appreciate any help with this.

Did you highlight a race? Did you put 209.53.20.177 for the value in the vroc.ini in place of the url? If this dont help, try asking in vroc chat. In article <[email hidden]>, Martyn Danby <[email hidden]> wrote:

Thanks for the suggestion..... I had WinVROC pointing to the wrong directory. DUH! Sometimes I can't see the forest for the trees..... Martyn Danby wrote:
