GPL: Multiplayer help

I have a cable modem, but GPL only gives me the option to use my serial port or modem. This happens regardless of whether I'm connected to the Internet or not. I would think that it would at least see my NIC, but it does not. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem? Thanks in advance, -- Rob

Do you have "Host" selected or "Join"?

Hi Rob, You have to make a core.ini file in your GPL directory and fill it with an alternate_ip_lookup_thingy entry. Open the README file in the GPL directory and search for core.ini or cable. The table of contents should point you to cable-modems as well. Jason.
