GPL Online: Problem with cable modem

3 posts by 2 people · 28 Nov 1999 - 28 Nov 1999

Hi all, I just wanted to try GPL 1.2 online (GSB 2 Beta) with my new cable modem - and it didn't work (it did some months ago with Sygate over a 56k connection). My GPL computer has two network cards - one for the cable modem (PCI), one for the LAN connection (ISA). When joining a game via GSB, GPL starts, but fails to open a network connection (timeout). I think my problem is that GPL doesn't choose the correct network card for internet play: when selecting the device I wanna play on (in the GPL multiplayer screen), I only get the LAN-card ("TCP/IP something at 192.168.0.2"). However, the IP address below is determined correctly (212.x.x.x). How can I tell GPL to use the other network card? I read through the Online section of vroc.net, but didn't find something related to my problem. Multiplayer over the internet works ok with other games (eg DTR Demo, Unreal Tournament Demo, AoE 2). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! Daniel -- ICQ UIN: 30333508 [link lost in import] || [link lost in import]
Add this to your core.ini file: [ Communications ] alternate_ip_addr_lookup = 1 ; Find IP addresses another way
