N2/multi-player trouble

by fff ff » Tue, 18 Feb 1997 04:00:00

Every time I goto play multi-player, regardless if it is a modem game or
network, I get an error msg stating that "cannot init modem" or "cannot
init ipx card."  So I reinstalled N2 and the multi player options all
worked fine, while I was in Dos, even in Kali dos,  as soon as I went onto
kali95 and tried to get a game going,up came those *** error msgs. Now I
cannot get it to work in either Dos or Win95, can't even play a modem game.
Can anyone help?
I'm pulling out hairs here!!

 Hi Tom,
   I had the same problem. Check your car set. Make sure your "multi"
carset is there. I downloaded Chris Fredericks' wc97 carset which saves
your default carset in another directory while installing itself as the
sole carset. Anyhow, I found that I'd get  "failure to init IPX card"
error every time I'd try a multiplayer race. Reloading the default set.
(multi seems to be the one that works) solved the problem.
    As a side note , if using Chris' set make sure you go into N2 after
you've installed it and select the carset from the info screen, or else upon
selecting a race you'll be booted out of the program.  
Hope this helped,
regards,
Greg

I had given up on my little modem problem but since I had installed CF's
97 car set, I gave your idea a try and IT WORKED!!!  I am now multi
player capable.

Thanks Greg!  Noone else, including papy had any decent suggestions.
Yours was dead on man.
