Don't worry about it... no question is dumb... except "What do I do with this *toilet paper* stuff?" Basically, I just connect to my ISP, then start SpyBoy. If you see races, you're in luck. Pick which one you want, then click on it to highlight. Then click the "Join" button at the top. SpyBoy will automatically start GPL for you, just like VROC. You then connect via mulitplayer, just like VROC. Let me know if you get it working or have any other questions. -_Dave > what do you start first?...spyboy then gpl?.....or how does that > work?......man i'm such a rookie at this... -- Dave Schwabe The Aussie Toad -- Grand Prix Legends & Brabham site http://users.wi.net/~schwabe

Hi, 1) Just fire up Spyboy, and when you see a race listed that you would like to join, click on it in Spyboy and then the "Join" button. Spyboy will then launch GPL for you, and you'll have the chosen server listed in your multiplayer section. When you close GPL, Spyboy will be back, refreshing to list available races. 2) Go to Step 1. :) Have fun! Brett

Its not dumb at all, we all had to start somewhere, and none of us knew what to do the first time either! (in life generally?) 8-) Try the following...... Fire up your internet connection. Start GSB (spyboy) Choose a race that you want to join by highlighting it with the mouse, the "join" button at the top of the screen should become available. Select the join button and Spyboy will start up GPL automatically for you. When in GPL select the multiplayer screen, select the join button in the top left hand corner, click on the host's ip address in the right hand window, select the green button in the bottom right corner. You should now be racing with the host, and the others who are also connected. 8-) *Peter* #:-)

And *Very Important* that internet connection should be the one that is tweaked for online *** *check out VROC's FAQ's*. I think alot of the recent connection problems are due to newer players connecting via their standard DUN configuration. Good Luck and have Fun !
>what do you start first?...spyboy then gpl?.....or how does that >work?......man i'm such a rookie at this... If you have installed spyboy correctly,1st go online using your DUN for online racing. Then start up spyboy. Select a race. Spyboy will then startup gpl automatically. Joel Willstein
