Is it possible to host races in GPL where racers join both from my LAN
and the internet. I have been trying to get this working but to no
avail. Has anyone done this? If so please let on how you achived it.
Cheers,
Paul
Have you tried using a proxy server for the internet connection? This will
work. My choice would be win proxy lite, it has a 30 day free trial so if
for some reason it doesn't work then you aren't out any thing. I have a
cable modem and intend on hang the proxy server right off my hub. Rainbow 6
plays fine this way with 4 players.
Yes it is possible.
I have hosted LAN & internet races by ticking the appropriate TCP/IP boxes
(1 for local & one for ISP provided). If your network uses another protocol
such as IPX tick this box.
Unfortunately I only have a standard modem but the races have worked fine.

COuldnt you use I-share to allow everyone access just 1 internet account on
1 modemed machine?

Are you using some sort of network address translation software (such as
Sygate or NAT1000) on the 'gateway PC' which is connected to both the net
and the local LAN?
I use Nevod's NAT1000 (network address translation) on my gateway PC (see
www.nevod.com). On my gateway PC, I have 2 NICs, one connected to the cable
modem and the other connected to my 2nd PC (using a crossover cable).
Since the network address translation S/W uses TCP/UDP port numbers for
address translation, I had to configure NAT to not use the dedicated UDP
port numbers that GPL uses (32766 and 6971). For NAT1000, I added the
following lines to a configuration file (nat1000.cfg):
UDP:32766:0.0.0.0:NORMAL
UDP:6971:0.0.0.0:NORMAL
I run GPL on the gateway and can see the IP addresses of both the NICs from
GPL when hosting. As well, I can join races from both the gateway and my
internal PC.
Good luck

Hi Paul,
It is certainly possible and very straightforward. When you start to
host just "tick" all the boxes from which you will accept connections
- you can specify TCP/IP, IPX or whatever.
Cheers!

Yes, I have done this, just make sure you select the correct the right
boxes, it should just work.
If you have problems, make them work separately before combining.
Mike.
