Q: Nascar racing: how to start a network game?

I just can't get Nascar 1.21 to run on our peer-to-peer network. It's supposed to start with nascar -n:[userid]. What's this userid? How does it work? Did anybody get it to work? Thanks in advance for any suggestions! Cheers! Borre

The userid is your login username for a novell server, which you have to have to play a network game. And guess how many people have one of those at home!

Let me start by saying that I have NOT tried playing NASCAR on a network. But, if NASCAR is like DOOM all you need is the ipx client drivers from Novell(they should be on their home page), network cards, and cabling. You don't have to have a server. Put whatever you want for userid as long as they are not the same. Like I said above, I have not tried this with NASCAR, so I don't know if it will work with NASCAR. It does work with DOOM.
