Hi, after finally giving in and downloading Netscape to run VROC I am having
trouble connecting. I click on "join" in VROC and GPL loads, I go to the
multiplayer screen and hit the green button. It then says opening
connection (or something to that effect) and then quickly says closing
session. I can't seem to connect.
I do have a winmodem Diamond SupraMax PCI, Is that the reason?
I guess I'll have to go with USR if that is the case. I have not installed
core ini., should I?
Thanks in advance,
Peter
Yep, sorry forgot to include that info.

You didn't say if you clicked on the IP address in the right box first.
Just thought I would throw this out just in case....

Peter, yes, you should ditch the winmodem ASAP. If nothing else,
it will drag your CPU. I dunno if I'd vote for USR (it has it's
own idiosyncrancies), but anything non-winmodem would be a plus.
Before you buy a new modem, however, look into digital
availability in your area (ISDN/ADSL/Cable)... you might be glad
you did.
I'm assuming you have downloaded GPPING.EXE (did I get the
filename right?) and put it in your GPL directory. I doubt GPL
would boot via VROC without this, but tossing it forward just in
case.
Yes, you should run CORE.INI unless you are going to join a game
that expressly forbids it. If you try to connect to a CORE.INI
host, and you don;t have it, then this is most likely the source
of your problem.
Rgds 'n Good Luck,
