hi Dan, 1. make sure you have TCP/IP installed. 2. check that the network card has an ip address assigned to it, can u ping it ? if the card is working it should reply. 3. finally if your ip address is given by DHCP gpl does not find detect the ip address thus u dont get the option to use it. add this entry in your core.ini file (even if your ip is not DHCP assigned add it, might solve your prob) [Communications] ;other gpl core.ini stuff alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 i had the same prob u had and step 3 cured it, hope that helps. -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

I'm not certain, but I think that the Novell client uses ipx/spx by default. In our experience, tcpip needs an ip address at each end for the connection to work. It doesn't sound like you have tcpip installed anymore. Check in network neighbourhood and make sure the protocol is still installed, and that it is bound to your network card.

About 6 months ago I installed Novell Client on my PC so my wife could work from home. Ever since then, my GPL will only try to connect using an IPX subnet, my modem, or other com ports. I can't get it to see TCP/IP anymore. Is there a way to disable GPL's IPX and modem/com port connections so that maybe TCP/IP will be an option again? I have a cable modem and raced with it many times before installing Novell Client. I decided to try it again today with no luck. Any suggestions? TIA <Dan>

Welp. No luck yet... I do have TCP/IP installed and bound to my net card, I do have the core.ini alternate address entry, I am able to ping my IP which I got with winipcfg. I'm at a loss....I have tried to "hard code" my IP address instead of having it auto-assigned but then my internet connection won't work at all. Any other suggestions are more than welcome. This may be asking too much but, if anyone has a cable modem and would like to install Novell Client to see if your TCP/IP option in GPL disappears, this may help me find a solution. Thanks a lot. (again) <Dan> BTW...GPL is the ONLY app that I can't connect TCP/IP multi-play with. It simply doesn't give me the option anymore.

I found the root of my problem. This is embarassing...At some time in the previous months I removed and re-added the core.ini IP lookup entry. I added it as "alternate_ip_address_lookup = 1" where it should've been "..._addr_..." I must've overlooked that 20 times in the past few days. Doh! Thanks for all the helpful replies. Now if I could just find the "Any" key..... <Dan> Dan Kaps <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:JHcN3.1336$[email hidden]... > Welp. No luck yet...
