Nascar LAN problem

by RAH » Tue, 30 Nov 1999 04:00:00

Could someone point me to information on setting up TCP/IP on a 3
computer LAN. When I try to run Nascar 3 (or any other TCP) game on my
network the computer starts my dialup and locks up. All IPX games work
fine.

The LAN consists of 3 WIN 98 cpus, in the TCP/IP properties attached
to my nic I have specified IP checked and 198.168.0.1 ... 2 ... 3
entered for IP addresses and 255.255.255.0 subnet mask.

DNS Config:

DNS enable checked
 Host & domain names
DNS search order

198.168.0.1
198.168.0.2
198.168.0.3

Thanks for any help.

It seems that you are making your 3 nodes, your DNS servers. Do you have
a real DNS server or are you fudging this? You might want to try doing a
LMHOSTS file instead.

Disable the DNS for the TCP/IP bound to your NIC

I have a very similar situation here, three W98 PCs on a Peer>Peer LAN with
TCP/IP as the protocol.  Two of them also have TCP/IP dialup connections.
Try disabling the DNS (not needed in a peer>peer setup) and see if that
works.  If not, email me and I can go through my setup in greater detail for
you.
