After getting my DSL connection, I tried N3 again. I get to
WON.NET and find that I need the latest version of the game.
OK so I patch it. Now I am trying to host but no body is
connecting. Is it just a fluke or is something seriously
screwed with the new system now. I never had a problem
hosting races before. People were always joining.

Greg, host a race after 9:00 PM. est., and I'll try it out...(preferably
someplace reasonably fast). Let me know when, and I'll be there.

I'll be giving it another go tonight in a few minutes. Somewhere
between 8:30pm and 9pm CDT. Probably at Lowes...

My handle is Hammer-DSL. Some wiseguy stole my Hammer-time
handle.

Thanks.

It appears that my experience with no one connecting was just
a fluke. I did it again last night and it was awesome. No warping
at all. Just some guy driving the #99 car that couldn't keep it
straight worth a crap.

I asked the 7 other people who were in my race what connection
speeds they had and everyone said 56K. So it appears that if the
host is using a fast connection (I have 320K DSL), the warping
will be almost non existent.

I am thinking of hosting races with 7 other people that are decent
drivers. We will have passwords to keep the riff-raff out. So if you
are a decent driver and want to give it a try email me. I will mostly
be racing online in the evenings Central Daylight Time, and some
weekend afternoons - like today :-) If you are interested, you should
have proper driving etiquette (like if you are many laps down let the
leaders go past, and make it a priority to not wreck).

All of my races will be 10% against 25 total cars including AI
cars. Yes you must drive around them and be patient. There
will be no damage, no yellows and no pace lap to maximize
the *FUN* (as I see it anyway).

Anyway send me email if you are interested!

Greg have you thought about using the software at www.raceserver.net

That software which is on the main news page (1.54) allows you to set up
your own race with your own settings on some of the fastest servers
available.  Example:  The one I run is on a clean OC3 and on a backbone
provider.
