GPL: Trouble with TCP in GPL

hooked up for online GPL. GPL seems to have trouble detecting my TCP connection, and I say this because it doesn't show up in the "Connect Via" menu. I installed the latest versions of GPL Spy Boy and Winsock, and other games like Viper Racing and Half-Life have no trouble with my TCP/IP address. Could someone please send to me a copy of their player.ini file? I'd like to look at it to see if I can't just hack TCP into my GPL settings. Thanks!

William, Using Notepad, create a file named core.ini in the same folder in which gpl.exe exists containing the following two lines: [Communications] alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 That is what fixed mine. Good luck, Gary

I've been getting the following error message when opening GSB after a reboot: listen: WSocket Resolve Proto: Cannot convert protocol 'tcp' This will then lock GSB. The***solution is to kill GSB with task manager and reload GSB, which appears to work. Since this first started happening, I don't think I've ever managed to connect properly via GSB, as I keep getting disco'd. The second solution was to uninstall GSB, and then re-install it. Once this was done, the error message did not reappear, and |I was able to race again on VROC. Imagaine my disappointment today when the error message came back, and I got disco'd from every attempt to join a VROC race. Can anyone give me some clues as to how I stop this happening, as it is seriously affecting my enjoyment of GPL/VROC A suitable reward for the answer..... Steve Green
