WinVROC question

This is a follow-up to my earlier post. It seems that about 90-95% of the time, I don't get a green flag when connecting with WinVROC. The 'chat' blinks a couple times & stops, and then it indicates that the practice session is over. I can move to the second page, but I don't get a green flag there. I know that this is a problem with 1.2 (it said so on VROC!), but does it happen this often to everyone? Wow is it annoying. Meanwhile, when I host races, no one seems to be able to stay connected. I know that's a real general comment - but, honestly, even when I was using my winmodem (I know, I know, winmodem=evil) people were able to stay connected better than this. Nowadays I have a DSL connection through Bell Atlantic at 640/90 and no one seems to be able to stay connected! The most I've ever managed to have stay connected is one person! Often, people get dumped right as the practice session ends. Is there something I'm doing wrong with the hosting on WinVROC? I sure can't guess what could cause this.... Basically, I can't race online (since VROC locks my computer - see earlier post) and the FAQ's that Alison posted and the VROC FAQ's, though informative, haven't actually helped at all. I miss my online racing!!! Any ideas? Any of you other Bell Atlantic DSL folks have troubles? Thanks! -Mark

If its any help to ya i get this problem if i leave my anti-virus prog running. When i disable or shutdown my anti-virus prog i can join the race as normal. Cheers Ginger.................(GPL, BowtNetterToDo) "Mark Roberts" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:9q1o4.1895$[email hidden]...
