I (and 3 friends) tried to run a GPL LAN race but could only get 3 players at once. When ever we got the 4th person joined, one of the 4 players would drop out or crash with a GPF - Invalid page fault. We were all using PCI NIC cards. I vaguely remember someone saying domething about full-duplex. Should it be on or off? I have a Simple Networking 9 port 10Base-T HUB. What is needed to run GPL with 20 players on a LAN? Thanks for any help. Steve

I think the default bandwidth for TCP/IP network play is set up for modems. You have to play it using IPX or change the bandwidth settings in the core.ini to use TCP/IP over a LAN. >I (and 3 friends) tried to run a GPL LAN race but could only get 3 players >at once.

We were using IPX. Tried 1 guy on TCP and 2 on IPX (had trouble with the other 2 using TCP since then I have fixed) and we had all 4 pulling out of the pits but crashed/disconected just down the track. griff > I think the default bandwidth for TCP/IP network play is set up for modems.
