Nascar 2002 season internet play - how to get into a friends game

Hello . i have tried this game in both multiplayer mode, and server mode. we both tried to link using our ip address, in the multiplayer mode. i started a game and ticked my ip address, then started the gameand told my friend the games ip address. inwhich he always gets a message ( timed out )... the he tried to set one up also, and then i get the same error message.. can someone please post a step by step ( fools proof ) way to connect 2 pc's over the internet..... thanks appreciate your help.

Why not just connect using the Sierra.com service provided with the game. Put in a password so no one can join and you're set to go. -- Mike Grandy www.precision-racing.com "falcon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ccd398f$0$2521$[email hidden]... > Hello . > i have tried this game in both multiplayer mode, and server mode. > > we both tried to link using our ip address, in the multiplayer mode. > i started a game and ticked my ip address, then started the gameand told my > friend the games ip address. > inwhich he always gets a message ( timed out )... > the he tried to set one up also, and then i get the same error message.. > > > can someone please post a step by step ( fools proof ) way to connect 2 > pc's over the internet..... > > thanks appreciate your help. > >

Then make one, it's free and only take a few minutes to setup. Much easier than going the IP route for novice users. "falcon" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:3ccd4285$0$2526$[email hidden]...

well novice or not, it should still be easy to set up a game. every other game will work just by doing normal setups for a multiplayer race.

Do you have a cable or dsl connection? perhaps the IP the game is reporting is not the correct one. run a program called winipcfg and see if you have multiple IP's. Also my ISP, even tho cable, no longer allows static ip's . My IP # number changes everytime I log on...sometimes, if I'm not active on the net for a set amount of time, it will release the ip and I have to 're-connect' so I never know what my ip# is till I get into a session. dave henrie

Not being smart, but have you read the manual?
