N4 Online - No Race List

I'd like to try N4 online, but can't get a race list to display, at all. I'm using a 56K dial-up modem, with Guard Dog as firewall. This seems to work fine in VROC with GPL, but doesn't seem to work with N4. I set my player for multiplayer, and connection type as TCP/IP, and configure the sim to "detect connection in another way" (the bottom choice in the "configure" window. Nothing has worked so far. Can someone help me out here? Have I missed something on the multiplayer configure screen, or is my firewall the problem? Thanks! -- Bert

I just tried connecting with GuardDog disabled, and I still don't get a race list. I made sure that "multiplayer" is selected on my player profile, but that doesn't seem to help either. Any help would be appreciated. BRH wrote:

Are you clicking on the "sierra.com" logo at the top of the multiplayer window? You have to be logged onto Sierra to see the races in the "arenas". If not, you won't see any races listed. -Paul Western States Racing League www.wsrl.n3.net "BRH" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

No, I'm not. Must have missed that in the manual! Thanks! Paul E wrote:

you have to click on the Sierra icon near the top of the screen. "play on Sierra.com" I think it says... dave henrie "BRH" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
