Can't get downloaded LANs to work

I've downloaded several LANs from Modlink but I can't seem to get them to show up in InterNIC. I unzip them and put them in the lan folder within the data folder. I use a Mac although I doubt that it makes too much difference.

Have you started a new user? You need to do that before anything you've downloaded will work. :)

You don't need to start a new user to use LANs. Is you folder named lan? It should be lans.

I did start a new user and yes, my folder is called lans. I don't know what the matter is. I'm also running Uplink: The Mod at the same time, if that makes any difference.

first of all Lans never appear at internic...except the sample lan...you need to enter the IP address into IP lookup to add it to your list of servers. but your probably going to say i dont know the ip address how do i find it. so ill tell you right now. If the file you unzipped isnt a text file make it one by changing the exetension to .txt, then open the text file and at the top you should see the server name company name, ip address and the location on the world map. write down the IP Address and go back to uplink and enter it in IP lookupand bingo its in your server list

First, this topic is nearly 2 months old, so you seem to be comming to the party a little late.

Second, LANs are listed in the links section of a company's internal services machine, no need to hack game files to find them.

Ok. you are the one coming to the party a ittle late buddy, and for no good reason. Ans second, to get the name of a central mainframe or public access server for a LAN you downloaded you cant just go to interNIC, you do need to change the LAN file to a text document.

Jump that gun, he didn't say it was at internic, he said it was in the links dir. of the Internal Services Machine of the Company.
