When I boot GPL my modem goes clik! HELP!!!

From VROC or when I am just online I hear my Rockwell V.90 go clik at the end of the splash screen when ever GPL boots. I can still see the host on the multiplayer screen but the network times out and closes when I try to join the race. When I return to windows the online icon indicates that I am still online however I am unable to connect to anything...VROC....Web Pages...or anything. I have to disconnect and then reboot to connect again. Any ideas?? TIA Fool Xtent

Never mind I figgered it out thanks anyway in apps.ini [ Communications ] disableDirectConnect = 0 ; Disable Direct Connect I changed the 0 to a 1 presto it worked

Thank you for posting this. Noone ever told me why i cant play online. My modem always disconnects whtn i click on join race.. thanks again dude.. PassedYa

I knew I couldn't be the only one with this problem. I am sure the GPL guys had a good reason to have the program install this way. I was about to re-install my modem thinking it was an IRQ conflict or something. Fool Xtent

What? Maybe that's why my work machine would sometimes dump the race as the server. I *do* have a modem in it. If someone called while a race was running, could it drop everybody out? Or would that parameter disable network TCP/IP also? Eldred __ Put your message in a modem, and throw it in the ***-sea... remove SPAM-OFF to reply.

I never used direct connect...only internet...maybe your directconnect option is set to 1 and should be at 0. That would explain why the option was there.
