WinVROC Hosting question

I have been trying to host races on VROC and other drivers are unable to join. I have a cable modem and have no trouble joining other races. I believe another driver got an "out of service" message when he tried to join. I have asked the chat group on VROC numerous times with no luck and was wondering if anyone here knew of a magic setting I might be missing or a clue as to how and set up hosting on VROC. Have tried the VROC help and FAQ's and every site I know of for a clue but am stumped. TIA Larry

next time ask people how high youre ping is.maybe thats teh reasen why .

Are you using a firewall product of any type?

Thanks Erik, What would I do if it were too high? Too low? Is there a setting? erik wrote: > > next time ask people how high youre ping is.maybe thats teh reasen why .

Steve I believe I have a pretty 'standard' setup. No zonealarm or any other firewall that I know of. I seem to have one of those simple anomalies that will not let others join a hosted race. I have checked all the VROC FAQ's and have had no luck with this specific problem. I wonder if I should be using core.ini settings instead of the default in GPL 1.2. I thought I read that GPL 1.2 no longer requires core.ini and in fact runs better without it. Correction? Does anyone on this board actually host races? I am not desperate but a little frustrated and ready to be embarrassed by the simple answer. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Larry Steve Garrotto wrote:
