N3 modem to modem

In regards to an earlier post concerning a modem to modem connection for n3 racing, where one user used his computer as a dial up server and the other dialed into it, I need a little more info. Are there any settings I am not missing ???? I clicked on dial up server on my system selected no password, allow callers and PPP connection...and on the other machine I configured a new dial up networking with the number on the other system...keep getting disconnected or no response.....what am I missing. Are there some settings that I need to turn on or off?? do I have to specify an IP address under TCP properties under network.??? something to do with gateway???bindings ??? any help in detail would be appreciated.. thanks Tom S [email hidden]

Tom, In control panel, open up networking. There's a tab there, I think it 's called Identification, you and the computer you are connecting with need to have the same Workgroup name. Let me know if that works.

try this... http://www.ozemail.com.au/~jenderby/q2net/ its for quake2 but should work for N3. It covers all the settings for one rig dialing another. I followed this and it worked fine for Q2. -- Kenny L. kenny_l AT pacbell DOT net * "John Doe" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:38bd248f$0$[email hidden]... > In regards to an earlier post concerning a modem to modem connection for n3 > racing, where one user used his computer as a dial up server and the other > dialed into it, I need a little more info.

I've tried all this and I'm still having the following problem: I set up my computer as the server and the second computer dials in and connects, no problem. Then when I go into N3 Multiplayer, I set up as host and check only TCP/IP. When I click connect, my computer starts dialing my ISP Dial-up and kicks off the other computer. Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated. Baker (no email replys please) "Phillip Malphrus, Jr." <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:tzgv4.25328$[email hidden]...

in multiplayer. If it goes back and tries to dial you ISP just cancel it should take you back to N3. The other computer should check IPX only in multiplayer. This should work. Modem to Modem is the only way to fly... JB Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.

JB, I tried what you said and N3 gave the message can't open IPX socket on both my machine and the dial-up computer. When I select TCP/IP, my computer tries to dial my ISP. Is it possible I have a setup problem with Dial-up server? Thanks

I had this problem, too. Go into your internet explorer options in the connections tab and make sure the "connect to internet using a local area network" button is selected, if it's set to "using a modem" it will try to log on everytime. It shouldn't matter if you use tcp/ip or ipx at this point. After I did this it cleared the problem right up.
