Hi folks,

I wanna know if it's possible to play these games via IPX-network.
We found an option for networkplay and network-messages
like 'network found' in the EXE-files.
But when we tried we could not get it to work. We used NW-lite v1.xx.

Maybe someone can help me.

If possible email me.

tnx Sven

NCR works only if you have a server. Both players must be loggin in. ICR2
doesn't have a network option, and a lot of people are PISSED about that....

I am NOT paranoid. And why are you always watching me?!?

Try starting the game by typing NASCAR -n.
Then check the multiplayer menus.

This will not work for NWLITE, I also tried it using Novell Personal Netware - I really thought this would
work because this network system uses VLM'S as in a true client/server arrangement but with no avail, It seems
it will work on a dedicated server type network (Netware v3*-4*) I dont feasably have that much disk space to
go loading Netware on my system :( Though it would be nice if anyone else out there has tried using Lantastic
or similar - that I could cope with on my system :)
