N3 intermittent connect problem

by moo.. » Tue, 27 Jun 2000 04:00:00

I have had N3 for about a week.

I have problems sometimes when I play on the Internet.  Mostly me and a
buddy just play each other, and mostly I host, but we have had the
problem both ways.  About 1/2 the time we connect with no problem,
other times it hangs with the connecting... message, but never
connects, and never gives an error... other times you get the handshake
failed message.  Going completely out of multiplayer to the main menu
and re logging on to Won.net helps sometimes but not others.

I have also noticed that sometimes I don't get arena messages on the
race setup screen, even though I checked the show messages box on the
multiplayer screen.  This does not seem to affect being able to
connect, as my friend was able to connect when there were no messages
displayed.

Anyone know if this is normal behavior for N3 online, if so anyone know
any workarounds?

Thanks,
Gerald

Have you downloaded and installed the patch for N3 from papy.com?
If not, that would be a good place to start.

Yes; sorry I forgot to mention that.
