Goy, I am kind of new here.  Schumi just about sold me on Tiny's PF with his
passion for the product and dislike of ZA, then comes your question.  What
exactly do you mean by  "Do they support Internet Connection Sharing now ?".
I need to know if this is something I should be concerned about before I
install the program.  I have cable/network setup, and do race online, but do
not host.  Please post your response here.

Thanks

ABE

I use one computer to give the rest of the computers on my LAN access to
the internet through "Internet Connection Sharing" in Win 2000, my ISP
only gives me one IP address, ZA supports this feature without any
problems, at the time when I set this LAN up, Tiny (Keiro) didn't, so
although every person I know and trust does indeed consider Tiny to be
the better product, I can't use it

If Internet Connection Sharing is not something you use, then you need
not concern yourself over this, get Tiny :-)

Beers and cheers

yeah, it's not that, I had it too. It almost always froze when using escape
to enter the pits. I changed to Kerio (former Tiny) and it works like a
charm.

I think they claim to, but i got a lot of error messages when trying to run
it on my ICS "gateway" PC. So I still use ZA on that, but Kerio on the
other.

I had the same problems with GPL and ZA(free version).  It would lockup even
when practicing OFFLINE... :(

Never, ever happened to me.

Interesting how different all the experiences can be.

Yep - too many different combinations of hardware and installed software.  I
was able(after jumping through a few flaming hoops) to get my TSW2mod wheel to
work in F1 2001, but others can't.  ZA caused problems for me in both GPL and
N2k2, but it works fine for you.  Too bad we can't standardize so everyone can
run all the software easily... :(
