But the strangest thing , when I tried to re join again by IP the password I had previously typed in "cascades" had been corrupted and now read "cascades/tits"
I know where the appendages came from but have no idea how they got to be forwarded to the server , very strange goings on , has anyone any ideas why it should do that
if you mean where is the password stored , thats simple .
in the core.ini
[ SERVER ]
auto_save_replay = 1 ; Auto save replay if launched?
log_chat_to_file = 1 ; auto save chat log?
auto_export_standings=0 ; Auto export if launched?
dedicated=0 ; Unattended - run server.ini races
launch=0 ; Run GPL as a mp server
max_latency=0.0 ; Seconds. Set to 0.0 to disable
password=; [access][/[boss]][=f.last]
repeat=0 ; If dedicated, repeat (0=forever)

Not exactly , that stuff is mostly gobbly gook to me , I was simply making an observation
If you join a server using the IP
1st load GPL up
2nd select multiplayer
3rd type in the IP address e.g.(in this case ) 80.5.200.198
4th type in password (in this case) cascades
Join Race
all OK unless there is a problem joining or you get disco'd , you then have the choice to re join the race, which takes you back to the multiplayer screen .or quit
In my case when attempting to re join, the IP address is still displayed in memory which can be seen still in the box where we typed it .
The password is in memory and can also be seen in the same way .
BUT
The password has been altered , it now reads cascades/tits !
I have never seen this before and I was wondering if this was relevant to the connection problems we all encountered , I'm thinking here my PC has IGOR chat running behind GPL causing some kind of clash and cant understand why the extra password has suddenly appeared from nowhere
I confess to being a numpty when it comes to computer stuff its all a bit of a mistery to me , perhaps I should stop watching Derren Brown programmes
