I've tried connecting to the server from GPL's multiplayer on Sunday and Tuesday. It's always timed out even after multiple attempts consecutively.

I used the IP listed on oAo's website.

[Bo Bruce]

no-
i sent an email regarding this.
w/out iGor i don't know how to 'loop' the practice to run 24hrs... instead i can only launch and set max time to practice at 2hrs.
then it goes into race mode, and then shows paper and stops.

unless i am sitting there (i'm not) there's no way to check who is online, when, how long. so unless i get a request to launch it, and those that request know they have a 2hr window, there's no point in launching til iGor is back up

Can't you use VROC, Bruce? Some leagues still use it for their online racing. Or maybe if it isn't too much trouble start the server at fixed time each night, like 2400CET/6 pm EST!?

SERVER NOW RUNNING via Vroc!  24hrs/day
thanks for the suggestion Rob!  (why didn't i think of this?)

ok, the problem is "I" can't join via Vroc - but i can thru GPL/multi. same as for iGor
but last time i tried i didn't know it was due to my router/modem


might have to join via GPL/multiplayer... test it yourselves.

I was able to join OK through VROC, using core.ini settings, instead of 3/84.

Ditto.

[Aljones]

Can't join, insuffisant bandwith ??

[DDodge]

It told me bandwidth mismatch, until I change to core.ini settings, instead of 3/84.

I got the same as Don. Is it OK if I keep joining  in from GEM multiplayer? I don't know anything about anything with GPL so I'm loathe to stop doing something if it works mostly. It is usually better than the alternative of not working at all.

I fixed it!

[Donnie Yourth]

It seems that I cannot join via VROC.  Something borked somewhere.  However, I can join via the IP addy and did so in a test last evening joining BobH & Pepe for a short romp.

I got on last night with Bo, Joined via VROC but it took about 6 attempts. Also got on via IP through GPL. (1st time)

[Bo Bruce]

joining via GPL/multi is fine. for some it might be the only way ~

Claudio - HOW did you 'fix' getting racelist?

[JMF]

Thanks for starting the server Bruce, and thank you Rob for reminding him about VROC.

I know the address in the vroc.ini had changed at times when I was last using it. I think this is the default address that gets installed. It's worked for me.

[VROC]
Address=racelist.vroc.net

I did the same thing Greg did.

Hello, Niky sent me an email saying this:

" I  can't connect thru Multiplayer. Don't know why, but it tries to use the VirtualBox network interface, not the real network cable and I don't know where to change this.

Anybody has an idea ? thanks

Where do you make the VROC settings change above ?

[DDodge]

If you're talking about the core.ini thing, Burt, it is one of the options in the box that comes up when you click on join.
