Online Gaming?

Does anyone know of, or can point me in the right direction to learn how
to race online? Is there a FAQ that I can read? I'd really like to try
my hand at this. I've got Kali on my machine and would like to try N2
and GPL, as well as GP2 and ICR2. How do I get started? Where do I go? I
know about NROS and TEN, but get the willies trying to figure it out. Is
it easy?

Thanks for any help,
                                   ZZ

Hi Richard,

I have Kali as well.

You can meet all sim racers at the "->Racing" server #643.
Some hang out at "Atlanta Sims" server #294.

For N2, you should already have an game icon for it at
the bottom of the Kali screen. If not choose GAMES /
SCAN FOR GAMES from the menu.

Chat with some people to race against.  Determine who will
be hosting (answer), the rest will be dialing.  You should have
a ping <400 (500 max) for a good game.   Start N2, choose
multiplayer / IPX / (answer or dial) then Connect.

Its all in the N2 manual.

As for GPL, its better to meet players on Kali then connect
using TCP/IP (Kali uses IPX).  GPL sends fewer packets
in TCP/IP mode and you should be better performance.

GP2 -- multiplayer is pretty well non-existant for this game
except direct-connect with a serial cable.

ICR2 -- No internet play as well..

Hope this helps.
Jason

I haven't raced on Ten since GPL came out, but they have been having some
problems with N2 lately. However, as far as I know you can still race there
without too much trouble, and you should be able to do pick-up races just
fine.
Too greatly simplify  the proces of getting started on Ten, go here:
www.ten.net
