Anyone else use McAfee and Do multiplayer without problems?
Could it just be the "patched version" that has problems with it? We both
have 2mb cable connections
Thanks

I am using McAfee on a cable connection. I do not get 2MB or even close (
damn comcast for overselling ). I don't have trouble as long as I know not
to try and play during peak usage. Even then it is just jumpy cars. Do not
get drops except on the rare occasion and is usually because I tried to
connect to a server with a high ping.
Is he on xp? has he disabled the xp firewall? also make sure he has
allowed NR2k3 full access in the control panel.
I do not disable my firewall for gameplay.
One other thought, has he fully removed Norton? These two programs do not
like each other.
Check the registry.

fresh install os, if your messing with NAV or MacAfee, much like the vid
(NVIDIA, vs. ATI cards), they leave too much ***in registry and system
files when you remove them, IMHO. Your Mileage may have varied...
