Heya all, This is a request for help :) I got finally to pay myself a gift, a nice ASDL connection. It's great for surfing, but I have problems with the whole Proxy server thingy. Can't configure Real Player, Media Player, Mail, etc... but thus is not the point (I can work with the tech support on this). Spyboy doesn't work. I think it's related as I said to the proxy settings. But I have no idea where to find this. I figure they want to know my Proxy server, but the field in the Spyboy option is too small for the http:// address I have. So now Im stuck with VROC. I can join a race, it hops me to the GPL interface. When I click on "Multiplayer", Im sent as usual to the Join menu. But I can't join a race. I only have 3 choices of "join". US Robotics Modem (no green button), Com1Serial Port and Com2Serial Port. There's no other choice. Somehow GPL thinks Im not connected to the Internet. How can we fix that ? Here is what I have in my core.ini : [ Communications ] net_mdm_client_send_every = 3 ; Client packet freq on dialup net_mdm_client_send_size = 84 ; Client packet size on dialup net_mdm_server_send_every = 3 ; Server packet freq on dialup net_mdm_server_send_size = 84 ; Server packet size on dialup Is this correct ? If not, what are the best settings for my ASDL connection now ?

Have you tried the alternate TCP/IP lookup setting in the core.ini? Cheers! John

And what line would this be ? net_use_mdm_bandwidth_for_tcp_ip = 0 ; TCP/IP connections use modem bandwidth? This line up here ? If yes, I tried and it doesn't work. GPL thinks Im racing offline :( -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- May the Downforce be with you...

[Communications] alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 Ok that worked... But I also had to create a TCP/IP protocol also in the Network. -- Fran?ois Mnard <ymenard/Nas-Frank> -- NROS Nascar sanctioned Guide http://www.nros.com/ -- SimRacing Online http://www.simracing.com/ -- Official mentally retarded guy of r.a.s. -- May the Downforce be with you...

alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Add that line to let GPL see your TCP/IP conn. -Bj?rn

If you havn't already been told, here is the line you need to add to your core.ini file: alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 That's all :-)

Windows refuses to accept a lot of the shit I try to do with it. :) -g PS Microsoft announces that release of Windows2000 may be delayed until 1901.
