no tcp/ip in gpl with multiplayer

hi all, i wanted to play an on-line race in gpl for th first time via the net. So there i was my friend hooked up on the othr side and ready to rumble, well not...:( When in multiplayer mode there seems no tcp/ip connection possible?? i cannot choose this/ But it is in my network settings. My friend on the other side can just choose connect using tcp/ip using an ip number. What is wrong with my computer. I'm on cable modem so my internet is going out thru an ethernet cable. Does anybody had this same problem and what should i do. Thanks in advance Andre Hanegraaf Amsterdam

Hi Andre, All of us cable internet users had the same problem. Just add these lines to the core.ini file in your GPL folder... [ Communications ] alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 For good measure you may also want to set your packet size/rate to 84/3 (under the Communications section as well)... net_lan_client_send_every = 3 ; Client packet freq on LAN net_lan_client_send_size = 84 ; Client packet size on LAN net_lan_server_send_every = 3 ; Server packet freq on LAN net_lan_server_send_size = 84 ; Server packet size on LAN 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 net_mdm_server_send_size = 84 ; Server packet size on dialup Jason.

Add this under [ Communications ] in the core.ini file in your GPL directory: alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 Bart Westra Also on cable in Amsterdam, but not when driving GPL online because of cable hickups :(
