cable modem GPL

Can anyone tell me whI cant connect with spyboy after my cable modem was installed?

You need to have a file called core.ini in your gpl directory with the following lines: net_mdm_client_send_every = 2 ; 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 alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 The last line is the one that will have it search for your cable modem's address. At least this worked for me. Without this line my only choices to connect were serial port lines. With the line "alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1" added to core.ini, magically the cable modem address appeared as a choice. Cable rules for GPL. Get more info about core.ini files on Allison Hines internet site. Keith

WARNING! net_mdm_client_send_every = 2 is wrong for VROC races, should be 3 Remco

Jeff make sure your IP address is correct & of course your path to Gpl is correct also...Good luck Thom_j.

I only have these statements in my core.ini & it works fine via cable! ; Default send_every is 2. Default send_size is 84. See readme for details. 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

Hey Remco, I was using these parameters for core-server.ini because of the following text I read. Is this wrong? I was using this because of what it said about cable modems. Please tell me if this was a mistake and I will change to the original core.ini. I have had no problems joining or hosting online races with these settings, but I don't want to give someone else on a cable modem incorrect advice. The following is what I based those settings on. "Other core.ini variants ----------------------- core-server.ini has smaller bandwidth on the server send side, but normal bandwidth on the client send side. This may be useful for users hosting races over a cable modem. I believe it will work even if only the server uses this file, and all clients use no core.ini file, or do not reduce their bandwidth in their core.ini. core-client.ini has smaller bandwidth on the client send side, but normal bandwidth on the server send side. This should work when used on a client connecting with a server who is not reducing bandwidth in core.ini, and might help more clients to connect." I downloaded these alternative core.ini files directly from the VROC site in a file called core.zip. Please respond if I should not use these downloaded files. Zubcut

Hey Zub, The settings you're using aren't wrong, but the client and host should use the same settings. Since the "standard" VROC setting is 3/84 3/84, it is wise to use them as well. Remco

Thanks for the info. I'll go to the standard settings. Zubcut
