Does anybody know why I can't join or host races using a cable modem - I can only connect via IPX, not TCP/IP (IP address option is not present). The modem (3 Com cmx) is connected to the PC via an ethernet card. any help would be much appreciated. Paul Harrington

Create a file in your GPL directory called core.ini containing the following two lines: [ Communications ] alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 Eric

you have to change the content of an .ini file. Look at the GPL help.txt file. It will tell you which file to change and what to add. Philster
