Hi, I have gpl and have raced online a lot in the past. I just reformatted my hd and reinstalled gpl. I want to hook up a two player game with my friend and I. He has tcp/ip as an option in teh multiplayer screen. But I don't. I have ipx and the two com ports. I connect via ethernet card to a t3 line. I tried alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1; but it hasn't worked. What am I missing? please help!!!! I need that tcp/ip option!

If you're running GPL 1.0, and behind a firewall(or using DHCP) you might get this error. I had that problem at work, but ver 1.1 seems to have solved the DHCP problem.

Do you have the tcp/ip stack installed? check your network settings and see if that protocol is bound to your ethernet adapter.
