Hello Ed,

The server needs the same core.ini as you.  I was able to connect to
Tim's server fine and only have 1 entry in the core.ini file pertaining
to cable modems.  Your core.ini is refering to packet frequency
and size -- two very important items.  My suggestion is to remove
the "net_mdm" lines.

Jason.
