I am having trouble setting up my 95 machine to work with TCP/IP to connect to
the net and play multi-player. I have P100 with 16 meg of ram. Could
someone please help me set this up to function? I run win95.bat and then it
blows up with "Find File: can't find gfx/pop.lmp" then "Error: mpath_init:
unable to open control socket"

Help! Please!?

I am having a similar problem like this as well...The gfx/pop.lmp file
loads properly but I get
"Error: MPATH_Init: Unable to open control socket"
becoming a very annoying problem.

I assume you connect to your internet provider first (establish
TCP/IP) and then run q95.bat?

Let me guess... you have Quake zipped up in one file (most likely
pirated).

Well, here is what you did wrong:

You improperly unzipped the file. Quake has a certain directory structure
that needs to be maintained. To insure that the directory structure is
restored you unzip it like this...

pkunzip -d quake.zip


Or what you can do is just create a \ID1 directory in your \QUAKE
directory and move config.cfg and any .PAK files into that directory.
