I bought the Network hardware with the intent on playing NFSSE and/or NASCAR
with my son. We were e***d.
But after hours of time and no connect I am about to give up!
The network works great on other games, DOS, Windows 95 etc.
I have boot disks set up with network, sound & CDROM drivers for each
computer.
I believe the NASCAR manual say's that the game will only network when run
from Windows 95...can this game or NFS-SE be ran from WIN95.
If so, how much computer doe's it take to keep from dropping frames?
I didn,t figure I should have to buy 2 CDROM's to play the game with in my
own home?

You can also use a null modem cable (a cable with one pair of wires crossed -
 ask radio shack or any computer shop for one). If you have NIC cards (3Com
 EtherLink or whatever) you can again use a crossed rj-45 cable and bypass the
 hub by plugging straight into each other's NIC cards. E-mail me if you're

It requires IPX, running from a Novell Network, in DOS mode.
