GP2 on a LAN - possible?

by 100136.2.. » Fri, 13 Sep 1996 04:00:00

Can anyone tell me whether it is possible to link up GP2 over a Novell
Netware 4.1 LAN.  Are there bits of software that could fool GP2 into
sending it's modem or direct link messages down the NIC instead.  If
so, do I need two copies of the CD to do it.

Also, SRN said that it's possible to link two players of NASCAR over a
LAN using Hawaii.  John and Marc how do I do it.  I've got the beta
test copy of Hawaii which I found (I think I got it from SportsSims+).
This would be cool to play over a LAN, 'cos I've got bored beating the
***out of my mates with the grenade launcher in Quake!

Please help a sick minded Quake player and an avid GP2 fan.

Hi James (and congrats on your first F1SA race!) :)

If you check the July issue of Sim News, it describes how to do this.
Basically you hook up using bare IPX (LSL + network driver + IPXODI) and
then start Multiplayer NASCAR _WITHOUT_ any user name. This works great
and I've used it a lot. No succcess over Kali yet although it should be
possible.

The next thing would be to wait for NASCAR 2 which will give 8
players......I can't wait!! :)))))))))

Cheers!
John

You really only need to know how to fool Gp2 to use the Lan, because,
you can buy only a CD then install it on the two machines and then use
the nocdrom.zip utility out there to play gp2 without the cd.
