N2k2 server

Ok, I'm testing my server with the DeMONS2 software. I configured 3 races:Pocono, Daytona, and Atlanta. The server is *supposed* to start today at 5pm eastern... The password is "ras" (no quotes).

I've discovered something very strange. The server WAS running as scheduled, but it just doesn't show on the sierra list. When I connected via IP, it was there. WTF?!?

You have to tell D2 to "use WON". I don't think that's set by default (I don't really like Sierra/WON server matching, so this is my way of snubbing them - any victory, no matter how small, and all that). On the connections tab for your host: - Un-check the "TCP/IP" box - Check the "Register on Sierra/WON" box. -- ========================================================= Redneck Techno-Biker & "programming deity" http://www.paddedwall.org/john DeMONS/1 for Nascar Racing 3 & Nascar Legends http://www.paddedwall.org/demons DeMONS/2 for Nascar Racing 4 and 2002 Season (in development) http://www.paddedwall.org/demons2 Barbarian Diecast Collector (460+ cars and counting) http://www.paddedwall.org/diecast If you want to send me email, go to the first URL shown above & click "Send Me Mail" in the contents frame. =========================================================

Gotcha... Ok, the server will start at 6pm Eastern, password "ras". The cycle of races is Pocono, Daytona, Watkins Glen, Coca-Cola, Dover. That should be a good enough mix of tracks for a test...<g> Have at it - enjoy!

Practice was going well until my screen froze and I wrecked you. Sorry again. :-( I had a race earlier at WG with Uncle Fester where it froze also. He reeled me in after some early trouble, and when he was within 1-1.5 seconds behind me I swtitched on the mirror and had a freeze up After he went by he was disco'd. This screen freeze s**t is driving me crazy. Hadn't happened much at all lately until last night. Used to happen at regular intervals and now it's completely random.

Fwiw, I had these at one point too, and they were memory/system resources related I believe. In setting up my league's races, once they're going, I'd alt-tab out a few times during practice to do other things. Then, I'd get 1-2 second freezes during the race. Since I quit doing the above, haven't had any freezes. Any chance something like this is happening and/or to many things running in the background ? -John "David G Fisher" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:ATem8.12732$[email hidden]... > Practice was going well until my screen froze and I wrecked you.

Sounds like you are having lock ups while I'm having temporary (1-3 sec) screen freezes. My game hasn't actually locked up on me yet. The last thing I want to do is cause a wreck in an online race. The way I wiped out rik zeppelin in practice it couldn't have looked more like I did it on purpose as well. I turned right into him caused a wild crash. David G Fisher

I've tried different swap file settings but I can't seem to eliminate the freezes completely. Nothing is running in the background either.
