I have had no problems whatsoever connecting anyplace, day, date or time until the S20 grads thing on Vos's laptop server.
Sorry just to clarify the race was NOT run on UKGPL_6 (ie the laptop server), which as far as I'm aware has had no problems. Well apart from not responding for the race - hence our putting UKGPL_5 on standby in future as a back up.
The event ran off my home PC which is set to 116 (just checked).
Is it possible for you to check your core.ini settings Bernie as I'm now thinking that could be it.
You'll find the core.ini in your GPL folder, just scan down and look for these lines;
net_mdm_client_send_size = 84 ; Client packet size on dialup
net_mdm_server_send_size = 116 ; Server packet size on dialup
I just need your numbers.
